Apartment for sale in Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill

Sun-Filled, Loft-Like Studio with Midtown Skyline Views Welcome to Residence 11K at 166 East 61st Street, a mint-condition, recently renovated studio that lives far larger than its category. Unusually gracious proportions give the home a loft-like feel, while an open southern exposure toward the Midtown East skyline fills it with stunning light throughout the day. The living area easily accommodates a large sofa, coffee table and TV console, with ample room for a dining table. The opened, renovated kitchen is designed for both cooking and entertaining, with island seating for two or three, generous cabinetry and counter space, quartz countertops, an undermount sink, and stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher!). The sleeping area is remarkably spacious, comfortably fitting a queen bed (with room for a king) and nightstands, plus ample space for additional bedroom furnishings. Storage is exceptional: three customized walk-in closets and a separate linen closet, plus a dedicated flex space ideal as a dressing room or home office. Central heating/cooling and crown molding throughout complete the home. 166 East 61st Street is a full-service cooperative built in 1959, with an attentive full-time staff and a live-in resident manager. The newly renovated lobby and hallways set a welcoming tone, and amenities include a landscaped courtyard, central laundry room, bike room and garage parking. There is a bulk rate for cable and internet service available to residents. The building is pet and pied-a-terre friendly, and subletting is permitted subject to board approval. Up to 75% financing is permitted. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer. Set on a tree-lined townhouse block west of Third Avenue, the building offers quintessential Upper East Side charm in a quiet, residential pocket of Lenox Hill, just moments from Midtown. Central Park, world-class shopping, and an abundance of restaurants are all close at hand, and commuting is effortless with immediate proximity to the N/Q/R/W, 4/5/6, F/M, and E subway lines, as well as the M66 and M57 crosstown buses.
