Property Description for 315 East 68th Street, 14-K

Classic Six with Timeless Prewar Elegance

Perched on the 14th floor, Apartment 14K is a beautifully maintained Classic Six that epitomizes prewar grace, blending generous proportions with thoughtful updates and luminous exposures. The entry foyer, appointed with three closets, leads to a south-facing living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. French doors connect to the formal dining room, where south and west light fills the space, enhanced by custom built-in bookshelves and a matching sideboard.

The renovated kitchen is designed with white shaker cabinetry, grey Caesarstone countertops, and a gas range. A bright butler's pantry, renovated in parallel, offers a wet bar-ideal for effortless entertaining.

The private wing features a corner primary suite with open south and east exposures, five closets, and an original windowed four-piece bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and pedestal sink. The second bedroom, equally spacious, includes two closets and an en-suite three-piece bath. A sunny staff room or third bedroom, located off the kitchen, is complemented by a large closet and partial bath.

Additional highlights include oak hardwood floors, through-wall air conditioning, and notable prewar details throughout: coffered ceilings, moldings, picture rails, and glass-and-brass hardware. Open views clear the neighboring building, filling this home with natural light and a sense of airiness.

This is a home of enduring elegance, offering the perfect balance of prewar refinement and modern comfort.

The cooperative is pet-friendly and permits up to 75% financing, along with pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and guarantors with board approval. Additionally with approval, residents may install in-unit washer and dryer and through-wall air conditioning.

Built in 1930 and designed by architects George and Edward Blum, 315 East 68th Street is a distinguished prewar cooperative. The building's elegant street-side entrance is set behind a beautifully landscaped forecourt, creating a gracious arrival. Residents enjoy full-service amenities including a 24-hour attended lobby, landscaped roof deck, fully equipped gym, playroom, bike room, storage cages, laundry facilities, package room, and the support of an on-site resident manager.

Ideally situated at the corner of East 68th Street and Second Avenue, the building offers convenient access to the best of the Upper East Side: fine dining, gourmet markets, world-class museums, Central Park, and premier shopping. Transportation is effortless with the nearby 6 and Q subway lines and M15 bus.

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.
