Property Description for 40 East 62nd Street, 5-W

BRAND NEW, FULLY GUT RENOVATED CONDO APT OFF MADISON AVE

Modern convenience meets old world charm in this newly renovated pre-war condo apartment on one of the Upper East Side's most coveted blocks.

A newly installed, doorman-operated elevator opens onto a semi-private landing, shared by this home and just one neighbor.

This exquisite home has just finished undergoing a complete renovation. Every detail was carefully thought out and designed by best-in-class architects and designers to create a perfect, grand living space which seamlessly blends form with function. The apartment was taken all the way down to the studs, then rebuilt. It now features new plumbing risers, electrical work, and a new Mitsubishi City Multi central air system. Cat-6 wiring was run throughout, providing modern convenience in a luxurious pre-war setting.

Beneath the newly installed solid white oak 8" plank floors, is new concrete subflooring. The grand living room which features large bay windows, flows seamlessly into the windowed dining room, creating the perfect entertaining space. Down lighting was custom designed for the entire space by a lighting designer.

Entry into the kitchen is either via a doorway from the dining room or the hallway. The custom designed, windowed, Poliform kitchen features marble tiled floors and a full suite of top-of-the-line, Meile appliances. A fully vented Meile hood provides perfect ventilation.

A powder room outfitted with a Toto toilet, Duravit and Hansgrohe fixtures is perfect for guests.

A private hallway leads to the bedroom wing, which features two secondary bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bath. At the end of the hallway is the entry to the primary bedroom suite.

Originally configured as two separate bedrooms, the primary bedroom suite is expansive. With three windows facing south and east, the bedroom gets amazing light all year round.

The expansive and luxurious, windowed master bathroom features Dorn Bacht fixtures, Duravit dual vanities and a Toto Washlet toilet. The apartment also features a Miele washer and dryer.

40 East 62nd Street is a neo-Medieval style brick, stone, and terra cotta building that was completed in 1911, and converted to a condominium in 1996. Designed by architect Albert Joseph Bodker, the building has nine floors with two apartments per floor, a doorman/elevator operator, and superintendent. Located between Park and Madison, this prewar condo is in the perfect location, close to Central Park and the best shopping in Manhattan.

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.
