Located one block from Central Park, The Carlton House is a 68 residence, 17 floor building that exemplifies modern luxurious living at its finest. Formerly known as the Helmsley Carlton House Hotel, this building was converted in 2015 into a condop by Extell Development Company in collaboration with Beyer Blinder Belle Architects, and one of Architectural Digest's Top 100 interior design firms, Katherine Newman Design. The brick and limestone exterior of the building was preserved and restored to its original appearance. 21 East 61st Street has a beautifully appointed lobby, a full-time doorman and concierge offering personalized lifestyle services, a resident manager, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a 65-foot heated indoor swimming pool, steam rooms and resident's lounge with a billiards table, bicycle storage and refrigerated storage in the lobby for your grocery deliveries. A private storage unit is also available for purchase. The building is in close proximity to fine dining restaurants (currently offering either outdoor seating and/or takeout) such as: Philippe Chow, Freds Madison Avenue, Avra Madison Estiatorio, Tao Uptown, Amali, Scalinatella, Altesi, Match 65 Brasserie, JoJo and many more.

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.
