Property Description for 315 East 68th Street, 13-F
Apartment 13F is a lovingly maintained two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence, that has been in the same family since 1950
A gracious entry foyer with two closets introduces the home and leads to a south-facing living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace-an inviting setting for both everyday living and intimate gatherings.
The true eat-in kitchen retains its original charm, featuring classic china cupboards and period cabinetry, thoughtfully complemented by updated base cabinets to accommodate a dishwasher.
The private bedroom wing includes a corner primary suite with south and east exposures, two closets, and an en-suite original windowed bath with a soaking tub. The second bedroom is generously proportioned, offering two closets and its own en-suite original three-piece bathroom.
Set on a high floor, the apartment is filled with southern light and open blue-sky views. Additional highlights include oak hardwood floors and beautifully preserved prewar details throughout, including coffered ceilings, glass-and-brass doorknobs, moldings, and picture rails.
A wonderful opportunity to purchase a high-floor, classic two-bedroom home with enduring prewar character.
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.

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.
