Property Description for 315 East 68th Street, 15-DE

Rare opportunity to own a coveted 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home at 315 East 68th Street.

Welcome to Apartment 15DE, a fully renovated, high-floor, corner unit, with South and West exposures and views of midtown Manhattan. Boasting approximately 1,690 square-feet of living space, this spacious home has been thoroughly updated with modern elements that complement the building's prewar architecture. Standout features of this turnkey unit include through-the-wall air conditioning units, custom built-ins, two wood-burning fireplaces, a 20-foot long eat-in kitchen, and a large primary bedroom suite.

The apartment maintains a classic prewar layout and details, including original moldings, coffered ceilings, and solid wooden doors with brass hardware, and original strip oak hardwood floors. The rooms are graciously scaled, with separate living and dining areas, a windowed kitchen, a private primary suite, and bedrooms and bathrooms located off an interior hallway.

The eat-in kitchen features white oak SieMatic cabinetry, honed limestone countertops and honed limestone checkerboard tile floors, and high-end kitchen appliances (Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and STOVES-UK gas burner cooktop and electric oven).

In the primary bedroom suite, built-in cabinets flank both sides of the fireplace to provide ample storage, along with two custom designed closets and an adjacent space currently utilized as a separate home office. The windowed en-suite bathroom has been updated to include a modern glass shower, white subway tile, and limestone tile floors.

The generously-sized second and third bedrooms are accompanied by two full bathrooms. The second bedroom has two large West-facing windows, a deep closet, a large built-in dresser, and a renovated en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom occupies a corner location of the apartment, adjacent to the guest bathroom, and gets abundant daylight from South and West views.

The cooperative is pet friendly and allows 75% financing, pied-a-terre purchases, co-purchasing and guarantors. Installation of in-unit washer/dryers are allowed with Board approval.

Built in 1930, 315 East 68th Street is a premier cooperative building designed by architects George and Edward Blum. The building sits on the corner of East 68th Street and Second Avenue with a street side entrance located through a beautiful, landscaped forecourt. 315 East 68th Street is a full-service building with full-time attended lobby, landscaped roof deck, updated gym, playroom, bike storage, storage cages, laundry room, package room and on-site resident manager.

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.
