Property Description for 140 East 63rd Street, 7-DG
Barbizon/63: an icon among New York buildings, listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Its smashing condo conversion - a project widely acclaimed by architects and designers alike. 7DG combines the epitome of prewar elegance with the highest level of modern finishes. Authentic Bolivian rosewood floors, crown moldings and beamed ceilings. The unique 2,000 square foot floor plan features multiple exposures in virtually every room - a total of 18 windows. Throughout the apartment there are four exposures so the property basks in light all day. The lay-out is highly civilized - the public rooms and the bedrooms can be easily separated for company or privacy. The main living space enjoys six oversized casement windows facing east, south and west with lovely views of treetops and townhouses. The full dining room, a knock-out feature in any New York home, is adjacent to an upgraded kitchen with high-end appliances. All three bedrooms have two exposures. The master easily accommodates a king size bed. There are three elegant marble baths - all with Waterworks fixtures. The master bath boasts a double sink and a spacious windowed shower. The second has a deep soaking tub. In addition, there's a stunning windowed powder room with a unique marble pedestal sink totaling 3 1/2 baths. Add to that, a washer/dryer, generous closets throughout including a huge 8 x 6 walk-in and a state of the art A/V system. Originally built in 1927 and converted to a condominium in 2005, the fabled Barbizon/63 is a full-service Romanesque style building featuring 24 hour doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, a lounge with a grand piano adjacent to a 50 seat dining room with catering kitchen and a plush 20 seat screening room. An Equinox Fitness Center can be accessed from the building.

Upper East Side | Manhattan
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.
