## Property Overview

Spacious, Gut-Renovated One Bedroom with Open Views | Motivated Seller!

This gut-renovated one-bedroom residence exceeds expectations, offering open views, abundant sunlight, and an oversized living/dining room ideal for entertaining.

The brand-new, open kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, an LG combination washer/dryer, and a garbage disposal. The bathroom has also been fully renovated with herringbone tile floors, new fixtures, and an oversized medicine cabinet.

The building is in strong financial condition and has nearly completed a hallway renovation, and the lobby renovation is currently underway, all without an assessment. Ideally located in vibrant Lenox Hill, the building’s entrance faces beautiful townhouses while remaining just moments from Bloomingdale’s, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and countless restaurants. Public transit access is unbeatable, and nearly every subway line: 6,4,5,N,R,W,Q,M,F is around the corner. Amenities include two laundry rooms, bike room, and common storage.

- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 98 days (8 sales)

Based on one-bedroom sales at 166 East 61ST Street with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through July 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
