Property Description for 150 East 61st Street, 6-E

Apt. 6E at 150 East 61st Street is an expansive and beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner residence with an enormous open living and dining area in the heart of the Upper East Side. On the sixth floor of a full-service cooperative, this stunning apartment has straight-line views north and west that capture the impressive Manhattan skyline set against a backdrop of crystalline blue skies.

Flooded with natural light throughout the day from sixteen oversized windows and two exposures, this beautifully renovated home is a rare offering in an exceptional location. Upon entry, a gracious foyer with two spacious closets opens seamlessly into the main living area, revealing more than 34 feet of continuous open space. Flowing effortlessly into the dining area and open kitchen, the layout is perfectly suited for entertaining or enjoying watching Manhattan light up at night from the peace and privacy of your very own apartment. The thoughtfully designed open kitchen accommodates bar seating and is appointed with custom cabinetry, extensive storage, quartz counters, porcelain tile floors, and a suite of premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele oven, Thermador stovetop, range hood, and a Bosch dishwasher.

The west-facing, king-sized primary suite is enclosed by elegant French doors, creating privacy while maintaining an airy feel. It features a large walk-in closet with built-in custom organization and an ensuite split bathroom for privacy. The secondary bedroom, positioned on the opposite end of the apartment for optimal separation, faces north and includes a closet and a full ensuite bath, which is also accessible from the foyer.

150 East 61st Street is a full-service cooperative, with 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, renovated lobby, fitness center, bike room, private storage, laundry room, and an on-site
parking garage. You could not ask for a more convenient location, just a short distance away from both the Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue subway stations. Central Park and the top restaurants and shops in Manhattan are just a stone's throw away.

The building permits pied-a-terre ownership, pets, subletting, co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, corporate ownership, and purchasing in an LLC and Trust, all with Board approval.

3% flip tax payable is by the purchaser and a maximum of 70% financing is allowed.

This is a land lease building. The lease was renegotiated in 2010 and runs through 2109 with NO additional escalations. The recent increase of SALT deductions help to offset the overall carrying costs. Please note that there is an ongoing monthly assessment of $2,032.

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.
