166 E 61st Street #18-F

First time on the market in over 25 years, this very special corner home once owned by Burt Bacharach, will not be available long! This completely renovated two bedroom, two bathroom home is set off by an 1100+ square foot fully planted terrace designed by landscape architect Amber Freda. Perched high above the city, this extraordinary home offers space, luxury, and jaw-dropping views of the city and The 59th Street Bridge. Upon entering the gracious foyer, one's eye is immediately drawn to the incredible Northern, Eastern and Western exposures through the oversized living and dining room windows. White oak herringbone floors and crown molding run throughout the home. The fully renovated chef's kitchen boasts soapstone countertops and an island that comfortably seats five. This well equipped kitchen overlooks the windowed dining area providing striking open views of the city and bridge. A split bedroom layout allows for privacy and quiet distance between the two oversized bedrooms and baths. Ample closet space lines the hallways leading to each bedroom, with additional closets within the bedrooms. Both baths have been renovated using beautifully blended high end materials. The primary bedroom is a serene oasis with a wall of sliding glass doors opening to a charming seating area on the terrace. The master may be closed off at the hall for additional privacy. The second bedroom is generously sized with a sitting area and direct views of the bridge - gorgeous. Whether enjoying a cocktail and the sunset on the expansive private terrace, cooking in the open chefs kitchen while interacting with your guests at the island and in the living room beyond, or relaxing in your floating bedroom sanctuary, you will feel right at home in this thoughtfully designed apartment. 166 East 61st Street is a full service White Glove Cooperative residence with an impressive, recently renovated lobby, 24 hour Doorman, laundry in building, Bike Room, and Trunk Storage available. Pets are allowed. Wonderful neighborhood with the best amenities at your fingertips.
