Residence 8A at The Phoenix offers a rare opportunity to create a junior one-bedroom in a full-service Emery Roth-designed cooperative. This oversized alcove studio enjoys a corner position with two exposures and walls of oversized, sound-reducing windows that flood the home with natural light while ensuring quiet comfort. The flexible layout is ideal for modern living.
The well-proportioned alcove easily accommodates a queen-sized bed and can be enclosed to form a private bedroom (subject to board and city approvals), transforming the space into a true junior one-bedroom. Distinct zones for living, dining, and sleeping make the home feel larger than its footprint.
The updated kitchen features granite countertops, sleek cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, while the bathroom's crisp, neutral finishes offer timeless appeal. Hardwood floors throughout add warmth and continuity.
The Phoenix provides a refined lifestyle with its landscaped entrance, dramatic glass canopy, tranquil garden lobby, 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, bike room, storage, and attended garage with preferential shareholder rates. The cooperative is pet-friendly, allows pied-à-terres, and permits washer/dryers with approval.
Ideally located in Lenox Hill, you are moments from Central Park, Museum Mile, Madison Avenue boutiques, and some of Manhattan's best dining and cultural institutions, with convenient access to the Q and 4/5/6 subway lines and crosstown buses.

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.
