About This Property
Bright and beautifully proportioned, this corner residence enjoys open south and west exposures, filling the home with natural light while offering picturesque views of Third Avenue and the downtown skyline. A welcoming foyer with oversized coat closets and a powder room introduces the home’s thoughtful layout, leading into an expansive living and dining room designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining.
The residence has been thoughtfully updated with numerous recent improvements. The windowed kitchen was fully reconfigured, including updated plumbing, custom cabinetry, and a new countertop. All appliances are new, including the washer/dryer, stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The opening between the kitchen and dining room was also enlarged, creating a more open and seamless connection between the two spaces.
The generously sized bedroom is privately positioned from the main living areas and features excellent closet space, including two walk-in closets. The bedroom windows have been recently replaced, while a new countertop/desk adds functionality and flexibility to the space.
Further enhancements include beautifully refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint throughout, custom window treatments from The Shade Store, and thoughtfully selected new lighting fixtures from Foundry Lighting, adding a sophisticated finishing touch to the home.
Situated within the full-service cooperative at 201 East 62nd Street, residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, package delivery service, resident manager, fitness center, bike storage, and an on-site garage. Garage spaces are available subject to a waitlist. A private storage unit is included with the apartment, and monthly maintenance covers utilities and cable.
Perfectly positioned on a quiet Upper East Side block, the building is moments from Central Park, Bloomingdale’s, world-class restaurants, popular cafes, and excellent shopping.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A 24-hour doorman, package delivery and a resident manager are on duty at 201 East 62nd Street, and the building also has a fitness center, bike storage, an elevator and an on-site garage. Garage spaces are subject to a waitlist. For a Manhattan co-op, staffed front-desk service changes daily life most, from deliveries to guests arriving at the door.
Unit 12B is a corner residence with open south and west exposures, and the listing says the natural light fills the home. It also describes views of Third Avenue and the downtown skyline. On the winter solstice, a south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, in open-horizon conditions, though nearby buildings can block it.
The entry foyer has oversized coat closets and a powder room, so guests and coats are handled before they reach the main rooms. The expansive living and dining room is set up for everyday use and for hosting. The kitchen was reconfigured with custom cabinetry and a new countertop, and the opening into the dining room was enlarged so the two spaces connect more easily. All the appliances are new, including the washer and dryer. Having laundry inside the apartment is one of the most practical things here.
The bedroom sits away from the main living areas and has two walk-in closets. Its windows were recently replaced, and a new countertop with a desk gives it room for a workspace. The hardwood floors have been refinished, and there's a private storage unit you can use for things that don't need to be in the apartment. Monthly maintenance covers utilities and cable.
Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street is about 3 minutes on foot from the M and Q trains, and the 4, 5, 6, N, R and W at 59th Street is about 4 minutes away. Central Park is about 11 minutes on foot, and Morton Williams is about 2 minutes away for groceries. Cats and dogs are allowed in the building.
