Property Description for 219 East 83rd Street, 2
On the second floor of this 25-foot wide townhouse sits a turn-key home that has been exquisitely renovated and maintained by its current owner. The layout of this full-floor apartment was completely reimagined, creating a grand space for entertaining and daily living. The kitchen was flipped from its original location in the back of the apartment to a more central position. The result is an open kitchen and dining space that allows for a perfect flow through the home.
The apartment is surprisingly bright, with the sun reaching well over the townhouses across the street. It has 15 windows to bring in air and light, including 4 oversized south-facing windows in the living room. While renovated with a modern touch, the home is inviting and cozy. It has two elegant fireplaces, pre-war detail, exposed brick, and charming elements that make this the antithesis of a cookie-cutter home.
No detail large or small was omitted during the renovation. Not only is the configuration much more practical than its original layout, the home was also completed with all high-end fixtures and finishes. There are a surprising amount of closets as well as a washer/dryer in-unit.
219 East 83rd Street is a self-managed coop and permits 80% financing. Apartment 2 has an incredibly low monthly maintenance. Your guests can be buzzed in via the voice intercom system. This is a second floor walk-up, but it it's a short flight up to a great home. Come see for yourself. Just two blocks from the 4,5, and 6 train and close to many Upper East hot spots. Sorry, the coop does not permit pets. Gifting and parents buying for children is allowed.

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.
