Property Description for 21 East 61st Street, 9-F

Modern Luxury Steps from Central Park

Just one block from the Park, this remarkable 2,380-square-foot corner residence at The Carlton House offers expansive living spaces, abundant natural light, and the exceptional amenities of one of the Upper East Side's premier full-service residences. With three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and coveted north, east, and south exposures, every room feels open, bright, and beautifully connected to the surrounding cityscape.

Designed with a refined modern aesthetic, the residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful details, and a commitment to quality throughout. A marble-clad foyer with elegant wood accents and generous closet space opens to an impressive 32-foot living room. A dramatic wall of windows frames open city views from three exposures, while wide-plank oak floors add warmth and natural texture, creating an elegant and inviting setting for both entertaining and everyday living.

The 17-foot galley kitchen is thoughtfully designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining. Stylish white lacquer cabinetry is paired with premium Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, including dual ovens, a five-burner cooktop with vented hood, pot filler, and wine cooler. Adjacent to the kitchen, the 8' 12' windowed breakfast room offers sweeping northern city views-a versatile and inviting space designed for morning coffee, casual dining, and relaxed everyday
living.

Privately positioned apart from the secondary bedrooms, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired windowed marble bath featuring a deep soaking tub, separate shower, and Waterworks double vanity. Two additional en-suite bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from the primary suite, each with custom built-in closets and beautifully appointed marble baths, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests. Additional highlights include a Miele washer and dryer, custom built-in shelving, a marble mosaic powder room, and a deeded 33-square-foot storage bin.

Built in 1951 and masterfully reimagined in 2013, The Carlton House is an intimate 17-story boutique condop with just 68 residences. A grand marble lobby, soaring light-filled atrium, and beautifully crafted contemporary interiors create an impressive sense of arrival and a distinctive residential experience on the Upper East Side. Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and concierge service, along with a thoughtfully curated collection of amenities, including a 65-foot indoor saltwater pool, steam room, fitness center, yoga studio, billiards and game room, and bike storage.

The Carlton House captures the essence of refined Upper East Side living, combining a distinguished neighborhood setting with the comfort, services, and amenities of a modern full-service residence. Madison Avenue boutiques, celebrated restaurants, and world-renowned museums are all just moments from your door, offering an unparalleled Manhattan lifestyle

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.
