Property Description for 21 East 61st Street, 4-F

THE CARLTON HOUSE
DESIGNER FURNISHED SPLIT TWO BEDROOM

This exceptional designer residence is ideally situated on the coveted Gold Coast of the Upper East Side at Madison Avenue and 61st Street. The interiors were reimagined by the internationally recognized team at Katherine Newman Design, one of Architectural Digest's top 100 interior design firms. The two bedroom two bath apartment offers great light and tranquility from South exposures throughout. A marble entryway leads to a 21-foot sun filled great room with beamed ceilings and elegant casement windows overlooking a courtyard garden. The large open chef's kitchen features Caesarstone countertops and breakfast bar, custom white lacquer cabinetry and top of the line Miele appliances including a 5-burner gas cook top with pot filler, oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher as well as a SubZero wine refrigerator.

A private hallway leads to a primary bedroom suite featuring a double exposure corner cut window and two large custom outfitted closets, one a walk-in. The primary bath is marble and is tastefully appointed with a custom double vanity, deep soaking tub, and glass stall shower. The second bedroom, currently designed as a study with sleeper sofa, is large with an outfitted closet. The second bath is highlighted by a beautiful marble mosaic tile shower and a custom vanity.

Additional features include casement windows, wide plank White Oak hardwood floors, polished nickel hardware, Miele stackable washer/dryer, custom outfitted closets, and a multi-zone central A/C system. The designer furnishings are included in the sale and a private storage bin is available for purchase separately.

The Carlton House, originally completed in 1951, was redeveloped into premier luxury homes in 2014 by one of Manhattan's leading firms, Extell Development. It is situated in the heart of the Upper East Side on Madison Avenue, with proximity to Central Park, the city's most couture boutiques and restaurants including Bergdorf Goodman, Hermes, and Tiffany, Restaurant Daniel, Avra, Tao and Nobu. The full service building features an array of amenities including White Glove Doorman and Concierge, a State of the Art Fitness Center, a 65 Foot Heated Indoor Swimming Pool, Steam Rooms, Game Room, Storage, Bike Room, and Cold Storage in Lobby. The brick and limestone exterior was meticulously preserved to maintain its original elegant appearance.

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.
