Property Description for 150 East 61st Street, 16-A

This impeccably renovated, south facing one bedroom home awaits you to move right in. Boasting with natural light and unobstructed city views, at the crossroads of one of the most coveted tree lined Lenox Hill streets, this is an opportunity not to be missed. The owners embellished the space with high end tech such as a wifi/phone enabled Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system in both the living room and bedroom (Marantz and Sonos), custom automated Hunter Douglas window treatments, and a Crestron home automation system which uses a centralized universal remote to control it all from smart tvs, sound, window treatments, and more. All cables were seamlessly run behind walls providing a clean, modern finish. A designer’s touch is seen in the details such as all new fixtures, new five inch wide oak wood flooring, and recessed lighting. The bathroom ensuite has matching Calacatta marble tile throughout, whereas the kitchen shines with brand-new stainless steel appliances, new cabinetry, a designer backsplash, and a solid single cut granite countertop. Efficiency was a top priority when adding closet space, for a total of six large interior custom built closets. If that’s not enough the building also has additional storage for rent. New HVAC units were also installed. The building’s location is absolutely prime; around the corner from the 4, 5, 6, N, R, and W subway lines, two blocks from the Q and F line, and Citibike down the street. Residents are a short walk away from Central Park, as well as endless great restaurants and shops, including Whole Foods and Bloomingdales. 150 East 61st Street is beautifully maintained, and has been thoughtfully upgraded with all new amenities, including a fitness center, a stunning lobby renovation and great common spaces. Let’s not forget to mention, the doormen and staff are superb! This is a very well-run coop on top of their financials. The physical condition of the building is excellent, with all necessary capital improvements completed thus far. Though it is a land-lease building, it does not suffer from the problems sometimes associated with such coops. The lease was re-negotiated in 2010 and runs until 2109, decreasing uncertainty for the next 90 years. Pets, Pied-a-terres, guarantors and overseas buyers are permitted. 16A's maintenance is $1,132.4, the land lease poses as a special assessment which is additional $491.71 a month. Maintenance is 42% tax deductible and the land lease abstract is available for review at request.

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.
