Description

40 East 61st Street is quintessential luxury living in New York City. This spacious one bedroom is located on one of the most glamorous and sought-after blocks of the Upper East Side. One block east of the Pierre Hotel and Central Park and directly across from Lowes Regency New York, Serafina, Sant Ambroeus Coffee and the illustrious Julien Farel Salon. This unique layout begins with a large foyer greeting you beneath a coffered ceiling allowing for an airy arrival. There is a large coat closet to your right, and a powder room with linen closet tucked away to your left. The kitchen is on your left as this space spills out into the living and dining area with each section of the apartment denoted by the custom architecture. This is modular living at its best with a separate, but open, office. There is a reading nook within the living space with newly recessed lighting fixtures. The master chamber is huge with a long closet lined hallway, leading to a giant master bath. The main living/dining and office space have been freshly renovated with custom shelving, modern light fixtures, refurbished millwork and custom solar-blackout shades via the Shade Store. This beautifully sunlit flat is a gem for anyone looking to make a smart investment in the most posh area of New York City. 40 East 61st won't last long! Showings Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm by appointment only.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
