Property Description for 33 East 63rd Street
> THE ARCHITECT. In 1913 the firm of Slee & Bryson was selected to update the original townhouse built in 1877 by Charles Baxter.
> Slee & Bryson, founded in 1905 by John Slee and Robert Bryson, designed townhouses for over a quarter of a century.
> Perfectly located between Madison and Park Avenues, this newly renovated 20-foot townhouse with elevator retains its historical integrity in the midst of every modern amenity.
> While a classic limestone façade acknowledges its past, a masterful renovation provides a sophisticated home with the unique and creative design of its present owners.
> THE RESIDENCE. The garden level of this approximately 6,325 square foot residence opens to a welcoming reception area with a large walk-in closet and conveniently located half bath.
> Past the elevator and through the study, the rear of the building has a wall of glass that opens to a beautiful bamboo garden.
> The garden is one of three outdoor spaces in the residence comprising a total of approximately 800 exterior square feet.
> On the second floor a long pantry connects the wood-paneled formal dining room with the kitchen, replete with marble countertops and elegant storage.

> The master suite occupies the entire fourth floor, with an extraordinary bath and extensive dressing area.
> The fifth floor completes this home with three bedrooms, three baths, and a sunlit office area brilliantly adorned by a skylight overhead.

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.
