Property Description for 150 East 61st Street, 16-D

Three Exposures. Endless Light. Exceptional Value! At a time when many apartments feel interchangeable, this residence stands apart. Thoughtfully reimagined and extensively renovated, this 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a level of space, functionality, privacy, and storage rarely found in Lenox Hill. The layout lives larger than many two-bedroom apartments. Open city views and exposures to the North, East, and South fill the home with natural light throughout the day. At the same time, a series of pocket doors creates the flexibility to entertain, work from home, or enjoy separate living spaces without sacrificing openness. The kitchen is designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining, featuring Sub-Zero, Dacor, and Miele appliances, custom Wood-Mode cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and a wine cooler. Just beyond, the separate dining area becomes a natural extension of the home, a place to enjoy a morning coffee, host friends for dinner, or take in the city views. The living room offers exceptional scale, while the privately positioned primary suite feels removed from the rest of the apartment. Custom built-ins, concealed storage, multiple closets, and an oversized walk-in closet provide a level of storage that is rarely available in a Manhattan one-bedroom. White oak floors, recessed lighting, updated HVAC units, and an integrated audio-visual system complete the residence. Location is one of this home's greatest advantages. Situated in the heart of Lenox Hill, 150 East 61st Street places you moments from Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and some of New York City's most respected institutions, including Lenox Hill Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Hospital for Special Surgery, Weill Cornell Medicine, and Rockefeller University. Transportation is effortless. The N, R, W, 4, 5, 6, F, and Q trains are all nearby, connecting you to Midtown, Union Square, Downtown Manhattan, Grand Central, and the Financial District within minutes. For those traveling outside the city, access to the Queensboro Bridge and Long Island Expressway is remarkably convenient. Residents enjoy the benefits of full-service living with a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, private storage, laundry facilities, on-site garage, and a pet-friendly policy. Whether you are searching for a primary residence, a New York pied-à-terre, or a home for a child attending university or beginning a career in the city, this apartment offers something increasingly difficult to find: open views, three exposures, exceptional storage, privacy, flexibility, and a location that places the very best of New York at your doorstep. This is the kind of home that feels right the moment you enter through the door—and one that is difficult to forget once you've left. Please note that there is a Special Assessment of $1,429.87/month ongoing indefinitely.

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.
