Property Description for 50 East 77th Street, 11-B

Serenity and sophistication at the Carlyle House!

A magnificent Thomas Pheasant designed seven room home awaits you at the Carlyle House. Located on a high floor, every detail has been attended to with great aesthetic subtlety and a seamless blending of classical and contemporary design elements. A large and gracious foyer anchors the center of the apartment, with the living room, dining room, and library radiating out from it. Translucent glass room dividers create a sense of openness and connectedness between the beautifully appointed rooms.

The elegant corner living room has West views to Central Park, a bright North exposure and a working fireplace. The adjacent dining room is partially open to the foyer and living room for a lofty feel. Off the dining room is a fully equipped eat-in kitchen. The library, also partially open from the foyer, faces West with great afternoon sunshine. The oversized primary bedroom suite is a work of art with a West exposure, multiple closets, a bath with double vanity and an enormous walk-in shower. The second bedroom, equally elegant, also has a lovely private bath. There is a generous guest suite off another wing with a beautiful bath and a washer/ dryer that is tucked neatly away in a closet. The apartment has a lovely powder room, thru-wall air conditioning in every room, spectacular lighting and electric shades throughout, controlled by a sophisticated Lutron system, and all top-of-the line fixtures in the kitchen, baths and throughout the apartment.

Aside from the appeal of being part of the famed Carlyle Hotel, Carlyle House tenant-shareholders can access the hotel through a secure private door in their lobby. The co-op shares all the services available at the hotel including Dowling's, Cafe Carlyle, Bemelmans Bar, The Gallery, Valmont Spa, Fitness Room, Yves Durif Hair Salon, parking garage and even room service!

Built together in 1929/30, the Carlyle House and Hotel were designed to appear as one building, only a block from Central Park and Fifth Avenue. The Carlyle House has its own private street entrance and boasts outstanding and discreet security and services. Named after the British essayist, Thomas Carlyle, the legendary Carlyle Hotel has hosted heads of state, as well a wide array of royals and film stars. The super-low maintenance at the Carlyle House is due to a long-term lease transaction of their commercial and retail spaces along Madison Avenue. There is a 2% flip tax payable by the buyer, and pets and pied-a-terres are welcomed! The apartment is available furnished or unfurnished (artwork not included).

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.
