Property Description for 304 East 65th Street, 21-A

Perched high above the rooftops of the East 60s, Residence 21A is a truly one-of-a-kind home, enveloped by expansive terraces and framed by breathtaking open skyline views to the east, north, and west. Sunlight pours into the residence throughout the day, from the first light of sunrise to the glow of sunset, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere rarely found in city living. Currently configured as a gracious two-bedroom residence with separate living and dining rooms, as well as a dedicated full-size laundry room, the home's unique double-corner layout offers exceptional flexibility. Whether maintained in its current form or reimagined as a three-bedroom residence, the floor plan can easily adapt to a variety of lifestyles and needs. Beyond its remarkable privacy and tranquility, this home showcases a timeless level of craftsmanship, with thoughtful design and custom finishes evident in every room. The chef's kitchen is both elegant and highly functional, featuring granite countertops, sleek stainless-steel cabinetry, a Capital five-burner range with convection oven, a garbage disposal, and premium Sub-Zero and Miele appliances. The primary bath serves as a private retreat, beautifully finished in Porcelanosa Kathmandu stone and appointed with a deep soaking Jacuzzi tub, a Thermasol steam shower, integrated sound and video, and an expansive slate vanity. The secondary bath is equally distinctive, wrapped in polished steel penny tile and complemented by a black Caesarstone countertop and a shower with a fold-down teak seat. A fully outfitted laundry room with Miele washer and dryer, along with custom stainless steel shelving, adds convenience without sacrificing style. Life at The Rio Condominium and Spa offers a level of service and amenities more akin to a boutique hotel than a traditional condominium. Residents enjoy the benefits of a full-service building with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and full-time porters. The building's exceptional spa facilities include a fitness center, heated swimming pool, hot tub, steam room, and sauna. A beautifully landscaped rooftop terrace provides panoramic city views, while private storage adds further convenience. The Rio is pet-friendly, welcomes pied-à-terre ownership, and permits corporate and foreign purchasers. Ideally situated near transportation, shopping, dining, and some of the city's leading hospitals, Residence 21A offers an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy luxury living in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
