167 E 61ST Street #37C

High in the sky with some of the best views on the entire Upper East Side, Residence 37C at 167 East 61st Street is a newly renovated, light-filled two-bedroom (convertible three), two-and-a-half-bathroom home with a wraparound private balcony overlooking Central Park. Enter through a gracious foyer flanked by a powder room and coat closet, and be immediately drawn to the dramatic vistas framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, all of which is complimented by an abundance of natural light all day long that shines on the beautiful herringbone floors. The open living and dining areas soak in south and west exposures, and there is a large wraparound balcony with two access points off of the living area, providing front row seats to sunsets over the city. A versatile media alcove off the living space can easily be enclosed to create a third bedroom. The adjacent dining area sits beside a sleek dry bar with a wine cooler and refrigerated drawers. Just a step away is the windowed kitchen which is complete with a brand-new Bosch stainless steel appliance suite with brass hardware. There is rich yet subtle light-colored wood handleless cabinetry all throughout, providing warm tones. The impressive views from this apartment stretch from Midtown East to the Upper West Side, Central Park to the George Washington Bridge, and the Palisades to the mountain ranges deep in New Jersey. A corridor thoughtfully separates the bedrooms from the living area, and contains an in-unit full-size washer and dryer tucked away in a dedicated closet as well as a full bathroom with a stall-shower. The king-sized primary bedroom has corner windows facing west and north, a walk-in closet, two secondary closets, and a stunning ensuite bathroom with a double vanity, discreet storage, and a tub. The second bedroom features open north views and has a large walk-in closet. Whopping views, endless storage, and high-end finishes define Apartment 37C. There are remote-controlled shades all throughout, and every closet is fully finished. 167 East 61st Street is a glamorous co-op building in an appealing yet central location. A soaring waterfall and open plaza greets you as you enter into the chic double-height lobby. This truly full-service building features full-time doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, fitness center, private garden, storage, central laundry, playroom, and an on-site parking garage. The building allows pets, pied-a-terre ownership, subletting, co-purchasing, and gifting. 80% financing is permitted and there is a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser.
