From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Three Exposures. Endless Light. Exceptional Value! At a time when many apartments feel interchangeable, this residence stands apart. Thoughtfully reimagined and extensively renovated, this 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a level of space, functionality, privacy, and storage rarely found in Lenox Hill. The layout lives larger than many two-bedroom apartments. Open city views and exposures to the North, East, and South fill the home with natural light throughout the day. At the same time, a series of pocket doors creates the flexibility to entertain, work from home, or enjoy separate living spaces without sacrificing openness. The kitchen is designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining, featuring Sub-Zero, Dacor, and Miele appliances, custom Wood-Mode cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and a wine cooler. Just beyond, the separate dining area becomes a natural extension of the home, a place to enjoy a morning coffee, host friends for dinner, or take in the city views. The living room offers exceptional scale, while the privately positioned primary suite feels removed from the rest of the apartment. Custom built-ins, concealed storage, multiple closets, and an oversized walk-in closet provide a level of storage that is rarely available in a Manhattan one-bedroom. White oak floors, recessed lighting, updated HVAC units, and an integrated audio-visual system complete the residence. Location is one of this home's greatest advantages. Situated in the heart of Lenox Hill, 150 East 61st Street places you moments from Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and some of New York City's most respected institutions, including Lenox Hill Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Hospital for Special Surgery, Weill Cornell Medicine, and Rockefeller University. Transportation is effortless. The N, R, W, 4, 5, 6, F, and Q trains are all nearby, connecting you to Midtown, Union Square, Downtown Manhattan, Grand Central, and the Financial District within minutes. For those traveling outside the city, access to the Queensboro Bridge and Long Island Expressway is remarkably convenient. Residents enjoy the benefits of full-service living with a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, private storage, laundry facilities, on-site garage, and a pet-friendly policy. Whether you are searching for a primary residence, a New York pied-a-terre, or a home for a child attending university or beginning a career in the city, this apartment offers something increasingly difficult to find: open views, three exposures, exceptional storage, privacy, flexibility, and a location that places the very best of New York at your doorstep. This is the kind of home that feels right the moment you enter through the door-and one that is difficult to forget once you've left. Please note that there is a Special Assessment of $1,429.87/month ongoing indefinitely. The Seller will cover one year of this assessment.
