Property Description for 150 East 61st Street, 9-H

With great natural light, an eat-in kitchen and three exposures, this gracious 2 bed (convertible 3), 2 bath home is a dream in a fantastic Lenox Hill co-op.


The expansive residence begins with a gracious foyer lined with regular and walk-in closets leading to a sprawling living dining room with the preferred exposure in the building: north on 61st street, much quieter than other units facing Lexington. Wide art walls, designer lighting and hardwood floors add an air of refinement, while oversized windows on three exposures flood the home with sunlight and unimpeded open-sky views. The updated open kitchen provides excellent cabinet space, granite counters and top-notch stainless steel appliances, including a vented gas range. The adjacent breakfast room is the perfect spot for casual meals surrounded by the sights of the city.


The split-bedroom layout places the corner owner's suite alongside northern and eastern exposures where you'll find three large closets. One closet comes equipped with a Miele washer dryer while another is fitted with a California closet. An en suite marble bathroom completes the owner’s suite. The second bedroom enjoys southern and eastern outlooks and a convenient location alongside the marble guest bathroom. Currently configured as a two-bedroom, this expansive layout could easily accommodate a third bedroom without sacrificing living space.


150 East 61st Street is a well-run fully staffed co-op with recently renovated common areas, 24-hour doorman service, and a live-in superintendent. Residents also enjoy laundry, storage, a bike room, a new fitness center, and on-site parking garage. This land-lease building's lease runs to late 2109 with very favorable terms and includes generous board policies permitting pets, 70 percent financing, pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, gifting and parents buying for children with approval.


Nestled on a tree-lined street where Midtown meets the Upper East Side, this Lenox Hill home benefits from the best that Manhattan living has to offer. World-class shopping and dining line the nearby streets, Central Park is just three blocks away and transportation is effortless with N/Q/R/W, 4/5/6 and F trains all nearby.


*Please note this is a very favorable land lease building with lease payments made via the assessment ($1,301). In fact, there is a scheduled decrease in 2025 and all remaining adjustments are based on consumer price index (which is substantially less than many coops maintenance increases).

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.
