Description

This is the Lenox Hill two-bedroom buyers have been waiting for.

Apartment 2D at 150 East 61st Street is a well-proportioned, sun-filled two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom co-op with generous layouts and ample closet space - the hallmarks this distinguished building is known for. West-facing throughout, the apartment captures beautiful afternoon light and frames open skies that give the home a sense of ease and spaciousness rarely found at this price point.

The living and dining area flows naturally from room to room, offering a versatile canvas for both everyday living and relaxed entertaining. The two bedrooms are comfortably sized with excellent storage, and the 1.5-bath layout - a practical luxury - adds convenience for residents and guests alike. The unit also carries commercial zoning, adding a layer of flexibility for the right buyer.

The Building

150 East 61st Street is a handsome 16-story postwar cooperative with 24-hour doorman service, located on a charming tree-lined street. Constructed in 1960 and later converted to cooperative ownership in 1973, the building was designed by Horace Ginsbern and embodies a blend of mid-century character and updated elegance. The building features upgraded infrastructure, designer-renovated common spaces, a renovated lobby, and a new fitness center, along with a residents' lounge and bike room. Basement storage is available for a small fee, and an attached parking garage offers reduced rates to residents.

All apartments in the building are known for generous layouts and ample closet space. The co-op is flexible with condo-like rules, allowing pied-à-terres, co-purchasers, qualified renters, guarantors, and pets. The land lease was renegotiated and runs until 2109 - providing long-term stability and peace of mind. Financing up to 70% permitted.

The Location

The 4, 5, and 6 trains at Lexington Avenue/59th Street and the F, N, Q, and R trains at Lexington Avenue/63rd Street are moments away, putting the rest of the city within easy reach. Central Park is just a short stroll away, and the building is steps from Bloomingdale's, Saks, Serendipity 3, Avra Madison Estiatorio, and all the shopping and dining that make this stretch of the Upper East Side so desirable.
