Property Description for 101 East 97th Street

Brand-new, never been lived in, perfectly laid out and gorgeously finished townhouse now in its final stage of construction on East 97th Street off of Park Avenue. With 33 feet of sun-flooded South-facing frontage, a 2-car garage and a roof terrace overlooking Park Avenue, this 3-4 bedroom home offers you the opportunity to own and move right in to a triple mint townhouse just one block north of Carnegie Hill, steps from Central Park, one block from the subway, uptown, downtown and crosstown bus lines and surrounded on all sides by wonderful shops, merchants and cafes. This home's developer strived for perfection, offering solid oak flooring throughout, radiant heat flooring in all bathrooms, maximized outdoor space, windows between each landing and almost 10-foot high ceilings throughout. Own a gorgeous townhouse with a flawless design and cutting-edge finishes right on the edge of one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.

Layout:
Cellar: a finished basement offers over 320 square feet of windowed recreational space, a large storage room with washer and dryer hook-ups and a large half bathroom.

First Floor: enter through a beautiful, centered main entrance with ample closets or drive in to your own two-car (when superimposed via hydraulic lift) garage. This floor features a large windowed dining area, a marble powder room and a windowed eat-in-kitchen with high-end appliances including an imported La Cornue range, a custom-made exhaust hood to match it which vents to the building's exterior and Sub Zero refrigeration.

Second Floor: a sprawling open living space stretching across all 33 feet of the house's width, with wall to wall windows and Juliet balconies. There is a full bathroom and the space has been designed to be easily closed off to create a fourth bedroom, with the floor's full bathroom then being en-suite.

Third Floor: perfectly designed, this floor features two bedrooms, each facing South overlooking Juliet balconies, each with its own en-suite South-facing windowed full bathroom and each with its own oversized balcony facing North.

Fourth Floor: the Master bedroom floor is spectacular, with a generous Master bedroom facing South and offering a large balcony to the North, a divinely finished 5-fixture master bathroom facing South and with its own large North-facing balcony as well, and bridging these rooms is a windowed corridor running the length of a Juliet balcony and accessing a huge dressing room for two.

NOTE: The real estate taxes indicated reflect taxes as currently assessed; they will likely increase once the house is completed and reassessed.

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.
