Building: The Residences at The Writing Room

The Residences at The Writing Room, located at 1703-05 Second Avenue, offer a unique and exciting living destination unlike any other on the Upper East Side. Melding historical significance and old world charm with fine modern renovations, this entirely gut-renovated property with newly-restored and updated entrances and common corridors plus all-new finishes throughout exudes a sense of downtown chic complemented by uptown sophistication. This iconic and historic building once was home to the celebrated Elaine’s restaurant, where the city’s most elite A-listers like Andy Warhol, Norman Mailer, Woody Allen, Mikhail Baryshnikov and many others wined and dined in style for over five decades and now is home to the hip The Writing Room which pays homage to the iconic space.

Old world charm is impeccably intertwined with modern style and finishes in 14 pristine floor-through apartments. Replete with prewar elements like original, yet newly-restored, 100-year-old exposed brick walls blended together with new details like crown moldings, new oak wood floors, Carrara marble, modern stainless steel appliances and Bosch washer/dryers.
