Property Description for 116 East 63rd Street, 9-D
Located on the top floor of a highly regarded, well-run pre-war co-op building in the prime East 60's, 9D is a beautiful and lovingly maintained seven room apartment with expansive skyline views from its numerous south facing windows. It offers a bright, comfortable and thoughtfully planned home to its new owner. Off a semi-private elevator landing, the apartment's charming front hallway with coat closet leads into the very spacious and brilliantly sunny double living room with a wood-burning fireplace bracketed by custom bookcases. Adjacent to this room is a library/dining room with a large north facing picture window and there is ample wall space for art and additional bookcases. These entertaining rooms feature 9'3 high beamed ceilings and attractive hardwood floors. A short hallway from the living room leads to the current configuration of two sunlit south facing bedrooms and two renovated bathrooms. The primary bedroom with its bathroom ensuite has a fabulous custom dressing room which was previously the third bedroom creating a luxurious and private suite for the owner. If preferred, the dressing room could be returned to a third bedroom. From the library/dining room or front hallway, one enters into the pantry area with its glass-paned custom cabinets, built-in wine refrigerator, storage and bar sink. There is an inviting windowed dining nook with corner banquettes providing an ideal space for enjoying casual meals. Off this room is a full third bath which also functions as a laundry room with a side by side washer and dryer. Beyond the pantry is the appealing fully equipped and renovated windowed kitchen which has painted tiles, granite countertops and top of the line appliances. This boutique cooperative has a resident manager, handyman and 24 hour doormen. Amenities include a laundry room, bicycle storage plus a private storage unit that transfers with the apartment. A special amenity just one flight up from 9D is the building's planted and furnished rooftop terrace with stunning eastern and southern views providing tenants with an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a panoramic city view of New York. There is also the possibility of renting an additional windowed private storage room on the top roof floor. Financing of 50% is allowed, pets are welcome and there is a 2% flip tax payable by the buyer. Pieds-a-terre are permitted.

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.
