Property Description for 30 East 71st Street, 5-A

Located in one of Manhattan's most desirable full-service cooperatives, on one of the Upper East Side's most picturesque blocks, residence 5A exudes prewar charm and elegance.

The home offers discreet luxury, accessible through a semi-private elevator landing that leads to an elegant gallery which serves as the central corridor of this stunning four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath home. The bright and spacious living area boasts a wood-burning fireplace with an intricately carved mantel and an adjacent dining area complete with a wet bar. Four oversized windows frame picturesque views of the architecturally distinct St. James' Church on East 71st Street.

On the other side of the gallery find an oversized den or library, powder room, home office and an eat-in kitchen replete with stainless steel appliances, ample storage, and room for a breakfast table. The back of the house boasts an expansive pantry, laundry facilities, and a staff room with an en-suite bathroom.

Beyond a private hallway, a separate bedroom wing with the home's four bedrooms assure privacy and a peaceful living experience. The primary suite includes abundant closets, a windowed bathroom, and a well-proportioned corner primary bedroom that can seamlessly connect to the adjoining bedroom, effectively extending the primary suite. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a bathroom and bask in natural light from southern and eastern exposures.

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.
