Property Description for 50 East 77th Street, 6-A

Ideally located on Madison Avenue at 77th Street and directly connected to the legendary Carlyle Hotel, this exceptional classic eight into seven room residence is distinguished by a dramatic double-height living room with 13-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and beautifully proportioned prewar rooms throughout. The apartment offers three bedrooms plus a staff room and four bathrooms.

A semi-private elevator landing opens to a gracious entry foyer that leads to an impressive gallery with herringbone floors, from which the principal rooms unfold. The magnificent 27' 9 " by 1 7' living room is the centerpiece of the home, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and oversized casement windows that flood the space with beautiful western light overlooking Madison Avenue. Across the gallery is an oversized formal dining room, perfectly suited for elegant entertaining.

The dining room connects to a butler's pantry and a spacious windowed eat-in kitchen designed by Smallbone and outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen features a large center island with seating for five, creating a wonderful space for both everyday living and gathering. One of the original staff rooms has been thoughtfully incorporated into the kitchen, creating an expansive layout. There is a laundry area with a vented dryer. Beyond the kitchen is the remaining staff room and bathroom.

Off the gallery, a private bedroom vestibule leads to the oversized primary bedroom with two walk-in closets and a windowed ensuite bathroom. The spacious second bedroom also has an en-suite bath and a large closet. Both bedrooms enjoy beautiful eastern light. Completing the home is a library, or third bedroom, with an ensuite bath and sunny western exposures overlooking Madison Avenue.

Built in 1929 and known as The Carlyle House, this elegant prewar co - operative offers a full-time doorman and live-in resident manager. Residents enjoy the rare privilege of private access to the Carlyle Hotel, allowing convenient use of its celebrated amenities-including Café Carlyle, Dowling's at The Carlyle, Bemelmans Bar, The Gallery, Valmont Spa, Fitness Center, Yves Durif Hair Salon, a parking garage, and even room service-all available on a pay-per-use basis.

A storage bin is assigned by the building. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser and 25% financing is allowed. There is a current assessment of $2,013 per month through December 31, 2026.

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.
