A Timeless Central Park Lifestyle in Lenox Hill Awaits
Graced with two private balconies and open city views, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner rental spreads a clean, modern aesthetic across a 1,200-square-foot pre-war layout saturated with natural light.
Less than two blocks from Central Park and moments from 5th Avenue, MoMA, The Plaza Hotel, and incredible dining, shopping, and nightlife, this classic Upper East Side residence boasts beautiful hardwood floors, airy 12-foot beamed ceilings, large closets, and tall sash windows with northern and western exposures. The kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated, and there is a combined in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience.
Residents are greeted by a tasteful entryway with a huge coat closet. Beyond lies a sprawling great room over 28 feet long, perfect for entertaining and everyday living. Sliding doors reveal a large balcony for a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
Off the great room is a galley-style kitchen equipped with tiled floors, stone countertops, ample cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and gas-burning stove.
The king-size primary suite enjoys a pair of oversized reach-in closets, two exposures, and a windowed en-suite bathroom with a marble vanity and deep soaking tub. There is also a second balcony for morning and evening beverages, lovely sunset vistas, and more. The second bedroom has a deep reach-in closet and easy access to the second full bathroom.
40 East 61st Street is a gorgeous pre-war condominium with a vintage Art Deco lobby, 24-hour door attendants, a live-in super, and shared laundry facilities. Nestled between Park and Madison Avenues, the building is close to Central Park Zoo, the Flagship Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, Columbus Circle, and myriad cafes, restaurants, and shops.
