Property Description
A gated entry and elegant white facade open onto the garden level, which centers on a contemporary chef's kitchen with French limestone floors, Venetian plaster walls, a breakfast booth, island seating, and pocket doors that can open the space for entertaining or close it off for intimate dining. Beyond, a gracious dining room with a working fireplace connects through three large French doors to the sun-filled, south-facing rear garden. It is an extraordinary setting for hosting at scale.
The parlour level features a grand living room with soaring twelve-foot ceilings, neoclassical moldings, fireplace, and open views. Across the landing, a sophisticated library offers built-in banquettes, a deluxe wet bar, and a second fireplace.
The entire third floor is devoted to the primary suite with high ceilings, a fireplace, an en-suite marble bathroom with separate tub and shower, and an expansive dressing room. Two sizeable additional bedrooms occupy the fourth floor, each with en-suite baths and picturesque views, for a layout that balances single-family comfort with Park Avenue refinement.
The fifth floor opens onto a private terrace, while the rooftop terrace above delivers sweeping city views, offering two additional venues for outdoor living and entertaining. Below grade, a full-height finished basement includes a gym, laundry room with double washers and dryers, and ample storage.
The home features four working fireplaces and one decorative fireplace on the fourth floor, a custom artisan elevator serving all levels, multi-zone central air conditioning and heating, a Crestron whole-home automation system, and a full security system including closed-circuit television.
116 East 61st Street offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and scale in one of Manhattan's most coveted locations.
Co-exclusive.
