Property Description for 311 East 71st Street, 3-FG

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to combine Two Separate Apartments into one sprawling and renovated 4 bedroom, 4 bath home in the Upper East Side!

Bring your architect and contractor to create your dream home with endless opportunity, from a 2 bed layout with a truly massive living room, to a comfortable 4 bedroom apartment. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side just steps away from the Q train, it puts Central Park and the East River Promenade at your fingertips. The apartment is convenient to the finest restaurants and great shopping.

For the 4 Bedroom Layout: As you step inside, you can be greeted by a spacious large living room with a perfect division between public and private spaces. The south facing living room allows for great sunshine and city views, and the tranquil, north facing bedrooms allow for quiet and restful sleeping. Each of the four bedrooms have the opportunity to have their own individual full bathroom. As for the kitchen, this is the opportunity to create an open concept, modern chef's kitchen that is conducive for the everyday lifestyle.

For the 3 Bedroom Layout: Create the expansive primary bedroom that nobody else has. What was once a living room, is now a spacious and private retreat. The primary bedroom is bright and south facing, overlooking a quiet tree lined. This large bedroom has the opportunity to create a massive walk in closet, without sacrificing space. Additionally, the living/dining area will be massive considering it used to be an entire 1-bedroom apartment. This would be the perfect space for entertaining.

For the 2 Bed / Flex 3 Bedroom Layout: This is a unique opportunity to have a truly loft like living room in the heart of the Upper East Side. Originally a living room and two large bedrooms, this is the chance to create a truly sprawling living area, with an optional partition for a guest room. Two bedrooms is all that is needed when you have this much space to entertain. Nothing is sacrificed, considering both true bedrooms each have their own full bathroom and two large closets each. This is a one-of-a-kind, special home.

The Diplomat has a terrific live-in Super, doorman (7 days a week, 8am to 1am), handyman, renovated laundry room, storage lockers and bike storage. Gifting, co-purchasing, and pied-e-terres are permitted on a case-by-case basis and subletting is allowed after 2 years of ownership with board approval. Come visit this move-in ready home with low maintenance in the sought after Upper East Side. Sorry, no pets. Open House by Appointment Only!

Combined plans subject to applicable DOB and Board approvals. All existing conditions should be verified by a licensed Architect or Engineer. Some photos have been virtually staged.

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.
