Gleaming hardwood floors, tall coffered ceilings and recessed lighting underscore the grand proportions.

Pocket doors throughout the home allow you to conceal and reveal living spaces and private quarters as desired. To the right of the gallery, plan lavish gatherings in the large dining room featuring its own north-facing terrace and open-sky views. An adjacent study with built-ins can easily serve as a fourth bedroom, while the nearby hall provides a guest bath, closet and in-unit washer-dryer. In the windowed kitchen, you’ll find abundant white cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a service entrance. From the entry gallery, access the private bedroom wing, including a sprawling owner’s suite with four closets, including two walk-ins, a private balcony and an en suite bathroom.

Another well-appointed suite offers its own balcony, walk-in and bathroom. A third bedroom is placed across from a large hall bathroom. Numerous closets throughout the home ensure storage will never be a concern. 40 East 61st Street is a handsome Art Deco pre-war condominium built in 1928.

Converted to residential use in the 1980s, the pet-friendly boutique building offers a stately lobby, a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and laundry facilities.
