Property Description for 166 East 61st Street, 18-F
First time on the market in over 25 years, this very special corner home once owned by Burt Bacharach, will not be available long! This completely renovated two bedroom, two bathroom home is set off by an 1100+ square foot fully planted terrace designed by landscape architect Amber Freda. Perched high above the city, this extraordinary home offers space, luxury, and jaw-dropping views of the city and The 59th Street Bridge.
Upon entering the gracious foyer, one's eye is immediately drawn to the incredible Northern, Eastern and Western exposures through the oversized living and dining room windows. White oak herringbone floors and crown molding run throughout the home. The fully renovated chef's kitchen boasts soapstone countertops and an island that comfortably seats five. This well equipped kitchen overlooks the windowed dining area providing striking open views of the city and bridge.
A split bedroom layout allows for privacy and quiet distance between the two oversized bedrooms and baths. Ample closet space lines the hallways leading to each bedroom, with additional closets within the bedrooms. Both baths have been renovated using beautifully blended high end materials. The master bedroom is a serene oasis with a wall of sliding glass doors opening to a charming seating area on the terrace. The master may be closed off at the hall for additional privacy. The second bedroom is generously sized with a sitting area and direct views of the bridge - gorgeous.
Whether enjoying a cocktail and the sunset on the expansive private terrace, cooking in the open chefs kitchen while interacting with your guests at the island and in the living room beyond, or relaxing in your floating bedroom sanctuary, you will feel right at home in this thoughtfully designed apartment.
166 East 61st Street is a full service White Glove Cooperative residence with an impressive, recently renovated lobby, 24 hour Doorman, laundry in building, Bike Room, and Trunk Storage available. Pets are allowed. Wonderful neighborhood with the best amenities at your fingertips.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
