Property Description for 301 East 61st Street, PH

The Clare is located at the nexus of Midtown and the Upper East Side at which natural light is the centerpiece of every home and public space. From the earliest glimpse of sunrise to the first brush of evening, from the dawning of the day until the cresting of the moon, life at The Clare takes on an entirely new sensibility in clarity and light through enormous windows that frame sweeping views of Central Park, Downtown, the Roosevelt Island Tram and the 59th Bridge. Known for their intelligent use of space and innovative, modern compositions, Manuel Glas Architects have brought The Clare to life. The vision is an environment where light-filled living is the centerpiece of every residence and public space. The condominium's unmatched design features a beautiful facade of panels by Porcelanosa, natural Indiana limestone, and oversized glass windows. This south-facing building is wrapped in vertical fins that provide discreet shade to the residences as the sun travels east to west. Extending up from the base, these mullions highlight the setback floors atop the Clare, creating a unique but contextual relationship with the surrounding neighborhood. A full suite of amenities includes a residents' lounge with furnished dining and living room, entertainment center and pantry, a fitness center, and a landscaped outdoor terrace with lounging.

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.
