Property Description for 21 East 61st Street, TH

This home is a 35-foot-wide, wonderfully light and bright house with architecture that, depending on the owners' style and decor, can be a grand and more traditional house or very open and loft-like. The house is approximately 10,000 interior square feet and 2,700 exterior square feet. It is a unique combination of high ceilings, a beautiful sculptural staircase, French doors to terraces and Juliette balconies, wide windows with charming tree filled views and elegant and graceful, generous spaces that can be opened to each other or remain defined and more formal. Unlike many traditional houses, the living spaces of 19 East 61st start on the second level, so everything is more elevated than a more traditional townhouse. The width and depth of the house allow for multiple interior spaces on each level, making the house feel much less vertical than a typical townhouse. Well-placed terraces as well as the pretty tree lined 61st Street make every room feel attached to something green outside. Normally a house of this width, traditionally considered a Mansion, would not have adjacent outdoor space, but terraces on three levels provide both big outdoor entertaining spaces and cozy spots for a nightcap or morning coffee. French doors with balconies also allow for open doors on almost every floor. 19 East 61st is attached to the highly regarded Carlton House and can be entered through the super-chic lobby of Carlton House or directly from 61st Street. This affords the owner of 19 East 61st the privacy of a house with the security and convenience of a white glove, full service building. The owner will also have the use of all of the amenities of Carlton House, including the doorman and concierge, a 65-foot pool, a fitness center with steam room, a game room and bike and tenant storage. 19 East 61st is newly constructed with the highest caliber systems, finishes and windows and is ready for occupancy with just minor customization to suit each owner's needs. Half a block away from Central Park as well as Barney's, Bergdorf's and many other top shopping spots, the owner of 19 East 61st can make Cipriani (less than two blocks away), La Goulue and Sant Ambroeus (one block away) their own private dining rooms. Walking distance to midtown, The Carlton Mansion is ideally situated on the Upper East Side. The complete offering terms are in an offering plan available from Sponsor. File No C11-0007. *a portion of the monthly costs for Carlton Mansion are being abated by the developer for five years

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.
