    A Paradigm of Modern Grandeur Just Off Park Avenue Situated on a regal, tree-lined corridor in the heart of Lenox Hill, 123 East 61st Street represents the apex of new construction townhome design. Rising six stories on a 20-foot wide lot, this bespoke residence bridges the gap between classic Upper East Side stateliness and contemporary urban functionality. Every inch of the 6-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom home has been commissioned with an uncompromising attention to detail, resulting in a residence of rare sophistication. Behind a striking custom stucco façade, the home reveals a curated palette of materials. Carlisle wide-plank oak floors ground the space, while a custom spiral staircase, accented by Kelly Wearstler sconces, acts as a sculptural spine connecting the levels. A commercial-grade elevator, finished with wood-stained panels and imported Spanish tiling, ensures seamless accessibility from the finished cellar to the roof. The residence is fully fortified for modern living with a comprehensive Lutron automation system, integrated audio, and high-performance Crystal Window casements. The garden level serves as the informal heart of the home. Past a foyer illuminated by chic FLOS lighting and a powder room featuring aluminum arrow tiling, the floorplan unfolds into a luminous open-concept kitchen and family room. The culinary suite is a study in texture and utility, featuring Pedini cabinetry, a cascading waterfall island of Calacatta marble, and a Dornbracht pot filler. A full suite of integrated Gaggenau and Miele appliances supports the highest level of cooking. This level extends fluently outward to the private backyard, which is atmospherically lit by LED sconces. Ascending to the parlor floor, one finds the residence’s formal entertaining spaces. A gas-burning fireplace anchored by a marble surround warms the living room, while the dining room offers views of the garden below. This space is elevated by a Kelly Wearstler chandelier and a bespoke dining cabinet topped with marble, housing a Miele wine preservation system. The second floor is dedicated entirely to the primary suite, a self-contained sanctuary comprising a spacious sleeping chamber, a private sitting room with a fireplace, and a voluminous walk-through closet. The en-suite bathroom evokes a European spa, appointed with imported Spanish tiles, radiant heated floors, a double Porcelanosa vanity, and a freestanding soaking tub adjacent to an oversized shower with body jets. The residential narrative continues on the third, fourth, and fifth floors, which house five additional bedrooms and a generous game room featuring a linear electric fireplace set in natural stone. Each bedroom is serviced by a custom closet and a private en-suite bath finished with Bianco Lasa Vena marble. The crown of the structure is a tranquil rooftop deck, paved with imported anti-slip stone and pre-plumbed for an outdoor kitchen and wet bar—an ideal vantage point for evenings in the city. The home is completed by a finished cellar containing a fun playroom, full-sized home gym, a full bath and extensive laundry facilities. Located close to Park Avenue, this residence offers immediate access to the cultural nexus of New York City. With Central Park, Grand Army Plaza, and the luxury hospitality, retail, and central business corridor of Midtown just moments away, 123 East 61st Street offers a lifestyle of unparalleled cosmopolitan convenience.
