About This Property

Space, light, and outstanding storage come together in this inviting Upper East Side studio at 166 East 61st Street.

A nearly full-height wall of windows draws the eye toward the stone-clad townhouses along East 61st Street, creating a charming neighborhood backdrop. Beyond the entry foyer, the approximately 20-foot main room provides ample flexibility for a thoughtfully arranged living area, a sleeping retreat, and a dining or work space. Classic parquet flooring adds warmth throughout.

Set apart from the main room, the renovated kitchen offers granite countertops, wood cabinetry, a mosaic tile backsplash, and full-size stainless steel appliances with gas cooking. The marble-tiled bathroom features a custom vanity, while three substantial closets-including a walk-in-make everyday organization effortless.

This professionally managed cooperative offers laundry facilities, common storage, and a bike room. With Central Park nearby and the shops and restaurants of the Upper East Side at your doorstep, the location combines neighborhood charm with easy access to the rest of the city via the nearby 4/5/6, N/R/W, and F/Q subway lines.

Select photographs have been virtually staged.

A washer and dryer may be installed with board approval. Pied-a-terre, guarantors, gifting and subletting after 2 years of residency are allowed. 75% financing is permitted and there is a 2% flip tax payable by Buyer.

166 East 61st Street is a full-service cooperative with a full-time doorman/concierge and live-in superintendent. The building is in strong financial condition and has nearly completed a hallway renovation and a lobby renovation is currently underway, all without any assessments.
