Property Description for 167 East 61st Street, 37-C

High in the sky with some of the best views on the entire Upper East Side, Residence 37C at 167 East 61st Street is a newly renovated, light-filled two-bedroom (convertible three), two-and-a-half-bathroom home with a wraparound private balcony overlooking Central Park.

Enter through a gracious foyer flanked by a powder room and coat closet, and be immediately drawn to the dramatic vistas framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, all of which is complimented by an abundance of natural light all day long that shines on the beautiful herringbone floors. The open living and dining areas soak in south and west exposures, and there is a large wraparound balcony with two access points off of the living area, providing front row seats to sunsets over the city. A versatile media alcove off the living space can easily be enclosed to create a third bedroom.

The adjacent dining area sits beside a sleek dry bar with a wine cooler and refrigerated drawers. Just a step away is the windowed kitchen which is complete with a brand-new Bosch stainless steel appliance suite with brass hardware. There is rich yet subtle light-colored wood handleless cabinetry all throughout, providing warm tones. The impressive views from this apartment stretch from Midtown East to the Upper West Side, Central Park to the George Washington Bridge, and the Palisades to the mountain ranges deep in New Jersey.

A corridor thoughtfully separates the bedrooms from the living area, and contains an in-unit full-size washer and dryer tucked away in a dedicated closet as well as a full bathroom with a stall-shower. The king-sized primary bedroom has corner windows facing west and north, a walk-in closet, two secondary closets, and a stunning ensuite bathroom with a double vanity, discreet storage, and a tub. The second bedroom features open north views and has a large walk-in closet.
Whopping views, endless storage, and high-end finishes define Apartment 37C. There are remote-controlled shades all throughout, and every closet is fully finished.

167 East 61st Street is a glamorous co-op building in an appealing yet central location. A soaring waterfall and open plaza greets you as you enter into the chic double-height lobby. This truly full-service building features full-time doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, fitness center, private garden, storage, central laundry, playroom, and an on-site parking garage. The building allows pets, pied-a-terre ownership, subletting, co-purchasing, and gifting. 80% financing is permitted and there is a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser.

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.
