Property Description for 26 East 63rd Street, 11-F

Perched high above Madison Avenue, this exquisite pre-war two-bedroom, two-bath condo at The Leonori evokes the timeless elegance of a Parisian apartment, where classic architecture and sophisticated modern living come together seamlessly. A gracious entry unfolds into a grand living and dining room, framed by soaring 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and open northern city views that bathe the home in beautiful natural light. Charming iron Juliette balconies accent the windows, lending an unmistakable European sensibility. Striking strip hardwood floors and beautifully proportioned rooms create an atmosphere that is both refined and inviting, equally suited for intimate evenings and elegant entertaining. The thoughtfully renovated windowed kitchen blends style and functionality with timeless design details, featuring custom cabinetry, generous counter space, a beautiful antique mirrored accent, and the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer discreetly tucked away. Privately situated away from the entertaining spaces, both bedrooms offer exceptional tranquility and generous proportions. The spacious primary suite features custom closets and a beautifully renovated windowed en-suite bath clad in marble and appointed with high-end fixtures and finishes, creating a serene, spa-like retreat. The second bedroom is equally inviting and is complemented by its own renovated windowed marble bathroom making it ideal for guests, family, or a sophisticated home office. Additional features include custom storage throughout, central air conditioning, and designer lighting. Built in 1902, The Leonori is one of New York City's first pre-war condominiums and remains one of the Upper East Side's most charming boutique residences. Its distinguished limestone Beaux-Arts facade, intimate scale, and attentive 24-hour doorman service create a sense of old-world sophistication rarely found in Manhattan. Perfectly positioned just off Central Park and moments from the very best of the Upper East Side, residents enjoy immediate access to Madison Avenue's celebrated luxury boutiques, designer shopping, renowned galleries, and some of the city's finest dining and cafés, including the timeless elegance of The Lowell Hotel, Club Macanudo and the iconic retail corridor including Hermès, Maison Goyard, Chloe and Fred Leighton to name a few. Residence 11F offers a rare opportunity to experience the romance of Parisian living in the heart of Manhattan.

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.
