Property Description for 8 East 83rd Street, 14-AF
With an almost 100 foot terrace that runs the full length of this penthouse apartment, two fireplaces and two split master bedrooms, this mint condition apartment is a sophisticated aerie that cannot be duplicated. Expansive windows look out on the greenery of the terrace, with professional plantings, irrigation and lighting. This high ceiling apartment is filled with light all day and is serenely quiet. Step outside in the evening and watch the sun set over Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. There are four doors to the terrace, including one from each of the bedrooms.
The two large, private master bedrooms have en suite baths and multiple huge walk-in closets. It is possible to re-configure the space to create a third bedroom. There is also an office with large file storage closets.
You can easily seat 12 for dinner in the dining room that joins the two ends of a large great room, with wood burning fireplaces on each end. The extensive open living area, in addition to the endless expanse of the terrace with multiple entry points, makes it an inviting home for entertaining. The kitchen is supplemented by a large butler's pantry with a wine refrigerator, an additional sink and dishwasher, and floor to ceiling cabinetry. There is the potential to convert the butler's pantry into an additional kosher kitchen.
High end cabinets, enviable closet space, and library shelving ensure that there is a place for everything, even if you are downsizing from a larger home. The apartment has a front door and a service entrance. The floor plan shows the two F-line entrances that are currently closed, but which can be re-opened.
Set on a lovely tree-lined street between Fifth and Madison Avenues, 8 East 83rd Street is a sought-after white-glove building offering residents the conveniences of full-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, an attended garage with direct building access, plus laundry and bicycle rooms. Pets and pieds a terre are permitted on a case by case basis. There is an assessment of $600.37 / month through March 2019 to fund capital projects in the building. Common Halls, the lobby and the facade are currently being renovated.

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.
