Property Description for 139 East 63rd Street, 5-A
2 BEDROOMS + LARGE STAFF ROOM
The epitome of timeless elegance and sophisticated style, this sun-filled 6-room apartment has been beautifully renovated and is excellent move-in condition. Located in a full-service cooperative in the East 60s, the residence has a gracious layout enhanced by tall doorways, hardwood floors, traditional moldings, custom millwork and is bathed in extraordinary natural light streaming in from 14 windows.
A stately foyer with two coat closets leads to a vast entrance gallery providing a loft-like flow into the entertaining rooms, which have open exposures to the North and to the South. The 23-foot living room has large picture windows framing a charming cityscape view and a lovely Formal Dining room overlooks verdant townhouse gardens to the North.
The bright gourmet eat-in kitchen has windows facing townhouse gardens. It has been thoughtfully renovated with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a Sub-zero refrigerator and a Viking six-burner range, and there are two entrances. Just off the kitchen, there is a large room that could either serve as an eat-in-area or as a third bedroom with a third bathroom. (It is currently configured as a breakfast room with a banquet that can seat 8.)
Along the Eastern wing of the home, there is a spacious master suite with large custom-fitted closets and a luxuriously appointed marble master bathroom. There is also a second generously-proportioned bedroom with attractive custom bookshelves and ample closet space with an adjacent marble bathroom. The home also has central-air-conditioning and a built-in sound-system.
Situated on a prime tree-lined block within the Upper East Side's Gold Coast, this distinctive 17-story brick building has a limestone base, a canopied entrance and an attractive lobby. The building has a full-time doorman, a live-in Resident Manager and private storage facilities with individual storage cages. There is a state-of-the-art Equinox Fitness Center and a SoulCycle studio located just across the street. Pied-a-terre ownership is permitted and pets are allowed.
The monthly maintenance is $4,400 plus $262 for electric and cable.

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.
