    A Rare Quiet Luxury Retreat Steps from Central Park at The Carlton House Discover a rare combination of luxury, privacy, and location in this impeccably renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence at The Carlton House, one of the Upper East Side's most prestigious full-service condominiums. Spanning approximately 1,193 square feet, this triple-mint home features a highly desirable split-bedroom layout and predominantly eastern exposure, allowing natural light to fill the residence throughout the day. Thoughtfully positioned away from the street, the home offers an exceptional sense of tranquility, privacy, and serenity—an uncommon luxury in such a prime Manhattan location. A gracious marble entry gallery opens to an expansive 21-foot great room with elegant beamed ceilings and oversized casement windows, creating a sophisticated setting for both entertaining and everyday living. The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with stone countertops, custom white lacquer cabinetry, premium Miele appliances, a Sub-Zero wine cooler, a 5-burner gas cooktop with pot filler, and a full-size in-unit washer and dryer. The spacious primary suite enjoys both eastern and southern exposures and features custom-designed closets, including an oversized walk-in closet. The luxurious five-fixture marble bath offers radiant heated floors, dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Privately situated on the opposite side of the home, the generously proportioned second bedroom provides excellent separation for guests, a home office, or family living. A beautifully finished second marble bath completes the residence. The Carlton House is a luxury 68-unit boutique condop offering an exceptional lifestyle with a stunning attended lobby, 24-hour doorman and concierge service, landscaped courtyard garden, state-of-the-art fitness center, 65-foot indoor heated swimming pool, a game room, steam room, bicycle storage, private storage, and refrigerated storage. Perfectly positioned on Madison Avenue at East 61st Street, just steps from Central Park and moments from the boutiques of Madison Avenue, world-class dining, luxury hotels, and renowned cultural institutions, this move-in-ready residence presents a rare opportunity to own a sophisticated home in one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods.
