Property Description for 157 East 84th Street, 2-FLR

This stunning private, full-floor loft has a wonderful feeling of space and width not easily found uptown. With high ceilings and wide hallways throughout, beautiful hard-wood floors, and many decorative details including Venetian plastered walls, this elegant residence is both a spacious loft and a beautifully designed and appointed uptown home. A customized floorplan makes this apartment unique in the building and a fabulous setting for formal entertaining or more casual loft living with all the conveniences of an Upper East Side address.

Located in The Legacy, a limestone clad, full-service boutique condominium designed by architect Costas Kondylis, the apartment has 4 over-sized bedrooms (one currently used as a formal library) and 4 and a half baths in over 5,100 square feet. A gracious entrance foyer opens to the perfectly proportioned 37 by 22 foot living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows, a wood burning fireplace with customized stone wall surround and ceilings close to 11 feet complete the dramatic living room experience.

The adjacent, spacious library, also facing south with floor-to-ceiling windows, has its own en-suite bathroom and can be opened or closed by specially designed pocket doors for alternative use as bedroom.

A luxurious, comfortable media room connects to the living room and to the gorgeous, oversized kitchen which is big enough to cook and play in. With two 36 inch Sub Zero refrigerators, two Miele dishwashers, a Viking range, a walk-in pantry, a large banquette that seats six easily and a great chef's island, this is a rare NYC kitchen.

The spacious, quiet north facing bedrooms look out onto small planted terraces, providing a pretty landscaped exposure. Each bedroom has a beautiful en-suite bathroom, and the truly luxurious master bedroom suite offers a spa-like bathroom of approximately 400 square feet with huge soaking tub, shower room, double-sink, radiant heat flooring and perfect custom designed closets.

A full laundry room, a built out mud room and a home office complete the space and make this one of the most beautiful and livable apartments on the market.

The details of the residence are completely up to date with a Crestron system to control the central air and heating system, lighting and music. There is an integrated AV system as well.

157 East 84th is a full-service condominium with full time doorman and superintendent. The building also features a roof deck with an outdoor kitchen and grill, an exercise room and additional laundry room in the basement. Dogs and cats are welcome (with building approval).

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
