Property Description for 50 East 77th Street, 12-C
Brand newly listed is this glorious, sunny and grand nine room home in mint condition at the sought after Carlyle House, perfectly situated at the corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue. Enter the apartment from a private elevator landing into a grand 25 foot long marble entry gallery which sets the stage for this remarkable home with three bedrooms and a library. Off the gallery is the oversized living room with a wood burning fireplace, formal dining room, an inviting wood paneled library, and three large and lovely bedrooms.
The oversized corner primary bedroom is a sunny and peaceful sanctuary with large closets and en-suite bath. The second and third bedrooms also have en-suite baths and the library could be converted to a fourth bedroom, as it has a powder room, easily convertible to a full bath.
The enormous eat-in kitchen has been recently redone with top finishes and appliances and is well configured for a gourmet chef. There is a breakfast bar in the kitchen and just off the kitchen is a laundry room and two staff rooms (one currently used for storage) that share a full bath.
Aside from the appeal of being part of the famed Carlyle Hotel, Carlyle House tenant shareholders can access the Hotel through a secure private door in their lobby. The co-op shares all the services available at the hotel including Dowling's, Cafe Carlyle, Bemelmans Bar, The Gallery, Valmont Spa, Fitness Room, Yves Durif Hair Salon, parking garage and even room service!
Built together in 1929/30, the Carlyle House and Hotel were designed to appear as one building, only a block from Central Park and Fifth Avenue. The Carlyle House has its own private street entrance and boasts outstanding and discreet security and services.
Named after the British essayist, Thomas Carlyle, the legendary Carlyle Hotel has hosted every American President since Truman, as well a wide array of royals and film stars.
The super-low maintenance at the Carlyle House is due to a long-term lease transaction of their commercial and retail spaces along Madison Avenue.
Two storage bins transfer with the apartment and there is a 2% flip tax by the buyer. Pets are welcomed!

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.
