The Brittany, a striking Upper East Side rental apartment tower, anchors the north end of York Avenue and commands sunset views of Harlem River, the East River, and Long Island Sound. The 36-story tower has a handsome rusticated limestone base that provides protruding supports for the building's columns of energy-efficient bay windows. The Brittany stands out; it's the most attractive of the towers that line the west side of York Avenue above 86th Street. The views are not the only attraction here...

Leaving the Brittany's lobby and passing the sparkling fountain, you'll find the neighborhood is tranquil and mature. The Asphalt Green Recreational Center is across the avenue. Carl Schurz Park, which has an esplanade along the river, is only one block to the east.

The building has a health club and pool, landscaped rooftop sundeck, doorman, 24-hour-attended garage, children's room, video security, valet service, and a free shuttle to the subway on 86th Street at Lexington Avenue. It has a two-story-high lobby and a 7,000-square-foot fitness center with a 50-foot swimming pool. Enjoy convenient bicycle and luggage storage and an air-conditioned laundry room. There are eight apartments per floor, each with nine-foot-high ceilings, individual intrusion alarms, filtered water, parquet floors, washer-dryers, marble baths, and much more.
