The Carlton House, located at 680 Madison Avenue at East 61st Street, was originally designed as a hotel by Kenneth B. Norton in 1950. In 2010, Extell Development and Angelo Gordon purchased the property for $170 million and undertook an extensive conversion, completed in 2013, transforming it into 68 luxury residences and one townhouse under the architectural direction of Beyer Blinder Belle.
The 16-story building features a distinctive brown-brick exterior with a three-story limestone base and handsome pilasters. The conversion included the addition of two infill buildings along its west side, ending its free-standing status, and the creation of a new five-story limestone townhouse on 61st Street that serves as both the main building entrance and a private residence.
Residents enjoy comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a 65-foot heated indoor swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, steam rooms, game room, bicycle storage, and cold storage. The building offers white-glove services and lifestyle management through Luxury Attache.
Apartments typically feature wide-planked white oak flooring, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, custom lacquered cabinetry, marble finishes, and Waterworks fixtures. Many units offer split bedroom layouts, central air conditioning, and in-unit washer/dryers. The building's location, just a half block from Central Park and surrounded by Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques and fine dining, places it among Manhattan's most coveted addresses.
