You’ll simply be swept off your feet by this Upper East Side residence, which is now on the market for $1.19 million.
The pre-war abode, at 4 E. 70th St., off of Fifth Avenue, is available from the estate of Helen Fisher.
A noted biological anthropologist, the late Fisher famously used the brain scans of 17 college students to conduct a pioneering 2005-published study on the chemical nature of love. She, along with her collaborators, confirmed for the first time that love is hard-wired in the brain — and it was the first to pinpoint regions in the brain tied to the early, infatuation, stages of romantic love.
Fisher, who died of cancer last August at age 79, is also credited with finding the science behind the phenomena of being brokenhearted. As Match.com’s chief science advisor, her research “informs everything we do,” a spokesperson once said.
The roomy one-bedroom residence comes with a renovated bath and a stylish kitchen. It opens with a foyer and leads to a large living room. Details include herringbone hardwood floors, nine windows and lots of light. Maintenance fees are $2,713 a month.
Fisher split her time between this unit and that of her widower, John Tierney, in The Bronx.
She bought the Manhattan apartment for $250,000 in 1994, according to her family.
In a series of bestselling books, TED Talks and more, Fisher outlined how she believes, through her research, that people are divided into four types of personalities and how they fall in love. For Match.com, she came up with a questionnaire, the Fisher Temperament Inventory Test, to help people understand their type.
The listing brokers for her unit are Mark D. Friedman and Richard Rosenthal of Brown Harris Stevens.
