Property Description for 21 East 61st Street, TH
CARLTON HOUSE - THE MANSION - 35 FEET WIDE
OFFERED for $27,500,000 OFFERED for $65,000,000 in 2015
A unique opportunity to live in the only 35-foot wide Mansion with approximately 10,000 interior square feet plus an outstanding garden, terraces and enormous roof top terrace with a view of Central Park moments away from Fifth Avenue and the Park PLUS enjoy all the services and amenities of the exclusive Carlton House which include 24 hour doorman, resident manager and handymen, porters, a 65-foot swimming pool, professional fitness center and more. Enjoy a lifestyle which offers the tremendous space and privacy of a Mansion plus all the conveniences of a white glove residential building!
The Mansion has both a private entrance on tree lined 61st Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues as well as an entrance through the doorman and concierge attended lobby of the Carlton House. The Mansion has 3 exposures and is very light and bright. It is surrounded by approximately 2,700 square feet of outdoor garden, terraces and Juliette balconies. With its extraordinary width and depth, all the main living areas are on 4 floors instead of 5 or 6 as would be typical of a narrower townhouse. And also unlike traditional townhouses, the living spaces begin on the 2nd floor, affording a lighter and more elevated living experience. It has a commercial grade elevator large enough to quickly whisk many guests at a time from the entrance level all the way to the rooftop terrace and which also goes to the lower level where you'll find the pool and fitness center.
The mansion is currently configured with more formally defined spaces, but with minor renovation it can be very loft-like with opulent open spaces. Apart from its Landmark facade, the Mansion was totally built from scratch with state-of-the-art mechanical systems and steel and concrete construction and is ready for occupancy with minor renovation to suit your needs. It offers high ceilings, French doors to terraces and Juliette balconies, many large, tall and wide windows overlooking the tree-lined street and fireplaces. Most grand scale townhouses off Fifth Avenue tend to be dark and generally don't have gardens whereas the Mansion has outstanding outdoor areas on almost every floor and is surrounded on 3 sides with light and air. Located at the crossroads of midtown and the Lenox Hill neighborhood, the Mansion is moments away from Central Park and some of the city's favorite restaurants which are beginning to re-open including Cipriani, La Goulue, Fleming by Le Bilboquet, and Sant Ambroeus, plus of course Madison Avenue's finest stores. Ideal in every regard, visit the Mansion today to see first hand the lifestyle such a residence can afford!
A portion of the monthly maintenance for the Carlton House Mansion is being abated by the owner for five years.

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.
