Property Description for 129 East 69th Street, 8-C

Perfectly situated on a high floor at 129 East 69th Street, Residence 8C is a beautifully renovated and maintained seven room home boasting a spacious floor plan, striking architectural features, and four exposures with stunning light and views from every room. Upon entering the residence, a large gallery leads you into a thoughtfully designed living room with custom moldings and built-ins, beamed ceilings measuring 9.7' and higher, and a wood burning fireplace. The oversized casement windows and pristine hardwood floors in each room are distinctive and synonymous with pre-war living. The crown jewel of Residence 8C, the exceptional dining room, can easily accommodate 10-12 guests and is highlighted by gorgeous northern and western exposures with unobstructed views of the surrounding Lenox Hill neighborhood. Down the hallway, you enter a spacious mint condition eat-in kitchen with custom white cabinetry providing ample storage even for the most seasoned chef. This modern kitchen has high ceilings and is well appointed with high-end stainless steel appliances and fixtures. The sun-filled dining area within the kitchen is optimal for everyday living and enjoyment. Adjacent to the kitchen, the bright home office is functional but could easily be converted into a third bathroom. Off the living room, the elegant primary suite is accented with custom cabinetry and built-ins and boasts an abundant amount of closet space. The en-suite primary bathroom is in excellent condition and features a large casement window. The sun-drenched secondary bedroom enjoys double exposures and is equipped with an entire wall of closets while the third bedroom is nicely proportioned and extremely bright. Both the second and third bedrooms share a spacious, windowed bathroom. Residence 8C includes a vented GE washer and dryer and recently installed Friedrich air conditioning units. A large private storage bin is assigned to 8C and available for use in the basement. Built in 1916, 129 East 69th Street is a full-service pre-war cooperative with a resident superintendent, a fitness room, and private storage. The building is centrally located and only moments away from Central Park, Madison Avenue boutiques, art galleries and the city’s finest restaurants. Close proximity to public transportation. Pied-a-terres are allowed on a case by case basis. Pets are welcome. Up to 50% financing permitted. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the Purchaser(s).

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.
