Property Description for 150 East 61st Street, 7-E

The result of a nearly $1 million renovation, this exquisite two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner residence impresses with expansive designer interiors, upscale Porcelanosa finishes, gorgeous city views, and a superb location within a full-service Lenox Hill cooperative just three blocks from Central Park. Inside the sun-kissed residence, the light and bright ambiance is amplified by wide-plank hardwood floors and an abundance of windows along the western and northern exposures. A gracious foyer with a coat closet ushers you into a breathtaking open layout perfect for entertaining and comfortable daily life. Relax in front of the stunning fireplace featuring a bold marble surround, or plan your next dinner party alongside designer lighting and lovely views that stretch up Lexington Avenue. Elevate your culinary experience in the crisp white open kitchen, where polished white cabinetry and countertops surround state-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances, including a vented Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele coffee system, dishwasher, wine refrigerator and built-in microwave. The desirable split-bedroom layout begins with a spacious owner's suite offering a generous footprint for a king-size bed, additional furnishings and a sitting area. Two closets attend to wardrobe needs, while a pocket door reveals a contemporary en suite spa bathroom. The north-facing secondary bedroom offers three roomy closets of its own, plus easy access to the well-appointed full guest bathroom. Additional closet space and an in-unit washer/dryer complete this impeccable Upper East Side sanctuary. Currently configured as a two-bedroom, this expansive layout could easily accommodate a third bedroom. 150 East 61st Street is a beautifully maintained postwar co-op offering excellent financials and updated common areas. Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent service, cold storage, a fitness center, laundry facilities, resident storage, a bike room and an on-site parking garage. Pets, 70 percent financing, pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, gifting, parents buying for children, and subletting after a year are permitted with board approval. Seller expects buyer to pay the flip tax. Nestled on a tree-lined street where Midtown meets the Upper East Side, this Lenox Hill home is surrounded by the best that Manhattan living has to offer. World-class shopping and dining line the nearby streets, including the Bloomingdales Flagship and Sant Ambroeus. Central Park is mere blocks away and transportation is effortless with N/Q/R/W, 4/5/6 and F trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes all nearby. *Please note this is a very favorable land-lease building with lease payments made via the ongoing assessment of $1,958. There is a scheduled decrease in 2025, and all remaining adjustments are based on the consumer price index, which equates to a substantially smaller amount than the maintenance increases levied at many other co-ops.

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.
