Property Description for 24 East 82nd Street, 5-A
The most powerful word in New York City real estate is: location. At the pinnacle of NYC’s location is 5th Avenue. Perfectly nestled on 82nd Street between 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue is a limestone, 5-story co-op with only 13 apartments and only 400 feet from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Constructed at the turn of the century in 1910, with many architectural and aesthetic elements surviving. Ascending the six stairs to the building entrance you will be greeted with wrought iron doors that lead to the main vestibule. Equipped with a virtual doorman for deliveries, the sunlight infused lobby allows for a moment of respite.
Taking the elevator to the fifth floor, you will notice only a handful of apartments, in the very hotel-like hallway. Open your apartment door and you will suddenly be taken aback by the level of care and quality found inside. To your left is the windowed bathroom with beautiful tiling, pedestal sink, and glass enclosed shower. To your right through the entry hall is the large living room. Central to the room is an operable wood burning fireplace complete with a custom mantle. French doors open to the building’s only stone balcony overlooking the tree lined street with views of The Met. Step back inside from the balcony and the gold leaf Stark mural will capture your attention, comprising of three panels and over six feet each in length. Beyond the living area is the galley kitchen with an amazing grey silestone counter and backsplash, tiled floor, complete with Viking appliances and a wine cooler. Passing through the living area to the bedroom, you will sigh a most relaxing ahh. Custom built-ins allow for maximum storage, and a window seat provide a perch above the street for an evening rose, or a morning espresso. Throughout the apartment you will find crown moulding, custom wallpaper, high ceilings and hardwood floors.
Additional storage is found in the basement for monthly fee.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
