Property Description for 333 East 68th Street, PH-C
Welcome to Penthouse C at 333 East 68th Street, a rare opportunity to own a true townhouse in the sky. Spanning approximately 5,500 square feet across three floors, with an additional 1,600 square feet of private outdoor space, this expansive 14-room residence includes six to seven bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms, all within a premier full-service pre-war cooperative.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of the Upper East Side, this home combines the space and layout of a private townhouse with the convenience of a white-glove building. A semi-private elevator opens to a gracious foyer and elegant staircase, leading to a grand corner living room with restored wood paneling, a wood-burning fireplace, and oversized windows with open eastern and southern exposures. The formal dining room comfortably seats twelve, while the renovated chef's kitchen features a Wolf six-burner vented range, double ovens, two sinks, a large stone island, and ample storage. A spacious family room, ideal for casual living and entertaining, and a windowed powder room complete the main floor.
Upstairs, the primary suite includes two windowed en-suite baths, a fireplace, and a custom dressing room. Two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths, a study or fourth bedroom, a reading nook, and a recreation space round out the second floor.
The penthouse level features a dramatic great room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace, and access to a spectacular 1,600-square-foot terrace with open city views-perfect for entertaining, dining, or gardening. This floor also offers two more bedrooms with en-suite baths, a hidden library accessed through a bookshelf passage, a staff room with bath, and a large windowed laundry and utility room. Both passenger and service elevators serve this level.
Additional features include hardwood floors throughout, built-in sound systems, generous storage, through-wall A/C on the lower levels, and central A/C on the top floor.
Built in 1928, 333 East 68th Street is a prestigious cooperative with 24-hour doormen, a live-in resident manager, and only two homes per landing. Amenities include a landscaped garden, gym, laundry room, bike storage, and two private storage rooms.
The building permits 65% financing, is pet-friendly, and has a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer.
This is a rare and remarkable offering-an elegant, house-like home with light, space, and luxury, in one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods.

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.
