Property Description for 333 East 68th Street, 4-E
An oasis of tranquility awaits you inside this beautiful pre-war home. It is nestled within the trees, overlooking St. Catherine Park and a beautiful flower garden at the building's entrance.
A traditional floor plan, of two bedrooms and two baths, has been transformed into a sophisticated and warmly elegant master suite with grand bath and a classic library with half bath and laundry that can be easily reconfigured into a full bathroom.
The fluid floor plan leads you from a welcoming foyer to a corner living room with double exposures, facing south and west. At the center of this room, a gas fireplace framed with a marble mantle that once stood in the New York's famous Plaza Hotel will immediately draw your attention through its character and history.
A cozy dining area opens to the living room and to the south facing windowed kitchen, appointed with the latest appliances, including a Viking stove, Miele dishwasher and a Sub-zero refrigerator. A convenient windowed pantry, with wine cooler, completes the kitchen area. The unique hand-stenciled kitchen floor gives an additional chic touch.
Through elegant pocket doors, the living room opens to the charming west-facing library that overlooks the peaceful garden. The library leads to a grand dressing area, and to the secluded master suite. The master bathroom is decorated with white and pink marble.
The spacious corner master bedroom with west and north exposure is adorned with three very large windows revealing beautiful trees just outside the room. The windowed master bathroom is fully finished with Water Works fixtures and a large shower.
The peaceful, sophisticated atmosphere coupled with exquisite pre-war architectural details and a modern touch makes for a very special home. Every detail has been considered by the interior decorator design firm Lindsay Coral Harper.
The apartment also comes with a well-organized storage unit and the amenities of a full service Co-op building including 24-hour doormen, a live-in super, additional storage, bike storage and a gym. Residents also enjoy a private garden of their own. 50% financing, 2% flip tax. Pets allowed.
With the new Q 2nd Avenue train access one block away and the number 66 crosstown bus stop just across the street, the building is very well connected to all other areas of the City.

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.
