Property Description for 169 East 69th Street, 5-A
Move right into this beautiful and bright residence in the heart of the Upper East Side. Apartment 5A combines elegance and comfort in a classic six-room 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home. Please note this impressive residence can also be purchased with all new designer furnishings, including period antique pieces, for $2.3M.
You will be captivated by a welcoming feeling the moment you step out of the elevator into the 5th floor hallway, which was tastefully redesigned last year. Upon entering the welcoming gallery, one's gaze is immediately drawn into the home's centerpiece, a gracious and warm living room. The living room and adjacent library - the home's entertaining centerpieces - both overlook the green treetops of Third Avenue facing east. The library, originally one of the home's bedrooms, offers sophisticated built-in shelving, two closets and its own full bathroom. Handsome sliding wooden pocket doors allow for separation of the two rooms, affording maximum privacy and the convenience of converting the library into another bedroom, if desired.
The primary bedroom suite, off the entrance gallery, is flooded with light and very spacious, with three closets (one a deluxe walk-in), and an ensuite renovated marble bathroom. Sunny and inviting, the primary bedroom enjoys a relaxing view of townhouse gardens to the west.
The enormous windowed gourmet kitchen, also with a western exposure, includes an oversized island with two built-in wine refrigerators, granite countertops, two ovens and abundant cabinetry and storage, all guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning of chefs. An entertainer's dream, the kitchen boasts a substantial dining area that is perfect for both intimate and large social gatherings.
This home's layout is completed by a third bedroom (or home office, if preferred) and a bathroom currently housing a washer/dryer. With the original water connection and plumbing in place, the full bathroom can easily be restored, if needed, and the washer dryer can be moved to the kitchen where there is ample room to accommodate separate machines.
Built in 1961, 169 East 69th Street is a well-established and professionally managed white glove Upper East Side cooperative, a 20-story boutique containing only 60 apartments. Amenities include a central laundry, a playroom, and a newly renovated fitness center in the basement. Located in one of Manhattan's most convenient and desirable locations within close proximity to shopping, restaurants and public transportation, including the Q train.
The building permits 50% financing and maintenance includes utilities (gas, water, basic cable, and electricity). Sorry, pets are not permitted. 2% flip tax. There is a current assessment of $695 per month through January 31, 2022.

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.
