45 East 62nd Street 4ANew York, NY 10065

Perfectly positioned on a coveted, tree-lined and leafy block just off Park Avenue, this very elegant Upper East Side residence at 45 East 62nd Street is defined by classic prewar proportions, beautiful southern light, and exceptional architectural details. Exquisitely charming, the appeal of this apartment is immediate, with attributes both rare and enduring.

A nearly 3,000 square feet, this delightful residence features an expanse of five south-facing rooms, including all three of the principal entertainment rooms. All five of these rooms are bathed in natural sunlight throughout the day. The apartment also features a plethora of support space, ensuring a comfortably-supported lifestyle and a smoothly-running household.

From a semi-private elevator landing hall, a welcoming entry gallery opens to a beautifully proportioned living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent are a formal dining room and a cozy library; all three rooms benefit from outlooks over the tranquil, tree-lined charm of East 62nd Street. This sequence of elegant rooms creates a classic enfilade and provides an ideal setting for both elegant entertaining and comfortable daily living. Tall ceilings and expansive eight-over-eight windows further enhance the sense of volume and quiet luxury derived from the pleasing and generous scale of the rooms and their classic details.

Private quarters are equally compelling. The primary suite offers a generous dressing room and a spacious en suite bath. Of the two additional bedrooms, one is configured as a suite with its own bathroom, while the other is served by a separate hall bath. The layout is both flexible and highly functional, and includes a staff room with an adjacent bath, as well as a separate laundry room, both discreetly positioned in the back-of-house.

The kitchen is complemented by a bright breakfast room with a built-in desk. The residence retains its coveted original character, with traditional moldings and gracious proportions throughout, while also having been thoughtfully and elegantly upgraded both architecturally and with high-end finishes.

Additional features include central air conditioning, pleasingly oversized casement windows, and a security system. The apartment benefits from being one of only two residences per floor, ensuring privacy. A generous private storage room transfers with the apartment. The building offers a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, attentive staff, and a pet-friendly policy.

Built in 1915, this boutique cooperative is ideally located moments from Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, and some of the city’s finest dining. Without a doubt, this distinguished residence embodies the very best of refined Manhattan living and can function seamlessly as either a full-time home or an exceptionally generous pied-à-terre.
