Property Description for 150 East 61st Street, 3-E
STUNNING BEST VALUE 3BR/2BA PRICED AT $822 PER SF! This rambling apt feels like a house and is a real HOME--you will fall in love from the moment you step inside. Rare opportunity to own a large residence (approx 1520 sf) with a terrific layout in a superb location!! The exact same apt on the 7th floor recently sold for $2.25M--a million more!
The first photo is virtually staged to show how a fresh coat of paint and different furniture will completely transform this home--the first photo is a digitally revised version of the 2nd photo! All photos except for the first one are actual. With a few cosmetic changes--a fresh coat of paint, removal of carpeting, and refinishing the hardwood floors underneath (which are in excellent condition)--this home can be your elegant NYC residence that feels like a house!
This uniquely spacious residence is warm and inviting with a gracious entry foyer, dining area, huge windowed eat-in kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, 2 large split bedrooms, an enormous double-wide living room that has been divided into a roomy living room and a large 3rd bedroom/study with decorative fireplace. There is terrific closet space, 2 full updated baths, 4 new hvac units, and crown molding/cove lighting throughout--all this in one of Manhattan's most desirable locations!
Extremely quiet and peaceful with open city views and light streaming in all day, the coveted E-line is the largest line in the building with a double-wide living room that allows for an easy conversion from a giant 2 bedroom to a generous 3 bedroom, and the wall is already up (see posted floorplans for both current and original layout). Use the extra room as a bedroom, guest room, library or den.
Superb Lexington Avenue location is just steps from the 4, 5, 6, N, R, Q, F subway lines, Bloomingdales, Central Park, Equinox, and the finest restaurants and shopping in Manhattan. 150 East 61st Street is a wonderful full-service coop with 24-hr doorman, live-in super, great staff, new gym, resident lounge, on-site garage, storage, and central laundry. Flexible board allows pets, pied-a-terres, copurchasing, and foreign buyers. The building has excellent financials and one of the best land leases in NYC--the terms are locked in for the next 92 years--there are NO more escalations!--and include many features very favorable to shareholders. This is the perfect home in the perfect location at a great price. (Please Note: There is a permanent assessment of $1221. Total monthly is $4,032).

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.
