Property Description for 55 East 65th Street, 7-B

IMMACULATE UPPER EAST SIDE 1 BEDROOM ON THE TOP FLOOR 55 East 65th Street #7B is a pristine, newly renovated 1 bedroom/1 bathroom home on a charming, tree-lined residential block between Park and Madison Avenue in the Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. This unit is on the top floor of a seven-story boutique prewar building that is exquisitely maintained. This home has a particularly graceful layout. As you enter, the foyer greets you with two large closets and a grand entrance to the apartment. The focus of the expansive living room is a welcoming wood-burning fireplace, surrounded by custom built-in bookshelves. Two oversized windows provide perfect light all day long. The renovated, well-appointed kitchen has a handmade glass tile backsplash, French limestone flooring, and Carrera marble countertops. The new, stainless Blomberg and Jenn-Air appliances and the rich Mahogany Shaker-style cabinetry complement the polished nickel hardware and Waterworks faucet, which provide stylish accents. Off of the foyer, retreat to the solace of the oversized master bedroom. This private chamber is large enough for a king-sized bed and has ample, custom-built, wall-to-wall closets. The newly renovated bathroom has been meticulously crafted for a luxurious look and feel. It’s lined with Carrera marble on the floors and walls and the double-sized stall shower has a floor-to-ceiling glass partition. Every flawless detail, from the vitreous china pedestal sink to the polished nickel fixtures, all by Waterworks, make this bathroom the epitome of luxury. You’ll find that no detail in the renovation of this apartment was overlooked. The original oak hardwood floors have been refinished with a warm dark walnut stain, the tall 10’ high ceilings are adorned with elegant crown molding, and the door hardware is all polished nickel by Emtek. The apartment also includes all-new through-wall PTAC units for heat and air conditioning and recessed lighting throughout. Built in 1910 and designated in 1981 as a landmark within the Upper East Side Historic District, 55 East 65th Street is a seven-story brownstone-clad building comprised of 36 apartments. Building features include a live-in superintendent, video security, private storage, bicycle storage, and on-premises laundry facilities.

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.
