Extell Development Company and Angelo, Gordon & Co. have launched sales at The Carlton House, the Upper East Side's most elegant new luxury residence. Set along Madison Ave. and East 61st St., The Carlton House is surrounded by the most exclusive and chic shopping, dining and cultural destinations in the world. "We are creating homes that capture the historical elegance of the Upper East Side while incorporating features that reflect a contemporary lifestyle," said Elida Justo, director of sales. "Buyers who value classic, elegant living now have access to the most gracious layouts and the finest quality of design and finishes in The Carlton House residences." Effortlessly blending into the timeless neighborhood, architectural firm Beyer Blinder Belle has preserved and restored the 1950-era limestone and brick building to its original appearance, while adding new exterior elements. A 24-hour doorman and concierge will greet residents at 21 East 61st St. upon their entrance into the lobby. Replete with exotic materials and articulated millwork - all hallmarks of Moderne movement of design - the lobby sets the stage for custom-designed art installations including a marble marquetry wall and a sculptural concierge desk. With interiors conceived by Katherine Newman Design, one of Architectural Digest's Top 100 interior design firms, the finest aspects of the early 20th century Art Deco and Moderne aesthetics are reinterpreted with an unsurpassed level of quality and craftsmanship. Comprised of 68 2-6 bedroom residences, the refined qualities of a classic Upper East Side home are highlighted; traditional paneled entry foyers and galleries with polished marble floors, formal transitions between social and private areas, and en-suite bathrooms. Many residences also offer private terraces. Prices range from $2.9 million to $65 million.
