Property Description for 301 East 64th Street, PH-A
An exceptional opportunity to purchase the only terraced penthouse for sale in the East Sixties. With three exposures, this elegant, split, two bedroom/two bath residence is one of only two penthouse apartments at the Regency East. Convertible to a three bedroom (see alternate floor plan), it features an inviting 320 sq. ft. terrace and 90 sq. ft. of bonus planting terrace outside the south facing bedrooms. The corner master suite also enjoys an afternoon western exposure with abundant sunlight and open city views. The warm, windowed kitchen with custom maple cabinetry, granite counters and stainless appliances is adjacent to a comfortable dining area in the living room. Both windowed, marble bathrooms provide additional sunlight through colorful stained glass. PLEASE NOTE: Unlike the majority of co-ops and condos in NYC, the NYC Condo and Coop Tax Abatement is credited back to the shareholders of primary residences at the Regency East, in March/April each year. Net of this tax abatement ($5,742 for Penthouse A in 2016), the effective monthly maintenance is $3,497. The monthlies are further enhanced by 53% tax deductibility and a bulk discount for both electric and cable. The Regency East is a full-time doorman, 100% shareholder owned co-op, built in 1963 and converted in 1987, with exceptional financials, 80% financing, central air conditioning, a large common laundry (washers & dryers are not permitted), Gourmet Garage market and 301 Park garage. Most recently, Regency Easts infrastructure was completely upgraded (i.e. a dual natural gas/refined heating oil system, new chiller for the central air, etc.). It is pet friendly and also has no flip tax. The Corporation owns the land and the four retail spaces, permits co-purchasing, pied-a-terre ownership and has flexible subleasing. Notable amenities in the immediate area: Barry's Boot Camp across the street, BLO Blow Dry Bar next door, Purre Barre fitness and the Health Nuts on Second Ave., Massage Envy on 63rd St. and 5 Zipcar garages within 3 blocks 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.
