Property Description for 408 East 79th Street, 8-B

Welcome home to Apt 8B, the most sought-after 3BR/3BA layout in the luxury Arcadia condo. This stunning, sleek floor-through home has been masterfully renovated and boasts clean, modern lines and high-end finishes throughout. Enjoy striking sun-splashed northern, southern, and eastern exposures through 9-ft floor-to-ceiling windows, including gorgeous views of St. Monica's Church and the city skyline beyond. Every detail of this state-of-the-art 1,858 SF home has been well thought out, from the Nest temperature control system to the USB outlets in every room to the Hunter Douglas shades on all windows to the elegant contemporary lighting fixtures that beautifully illuminate the home throughout. Rich espresso-stained hardwood floors are a rich and exquisite contrast to the crisp white/cool gray scheme throughout the residence, and a full-size vented washer/dryer is discreetly tucked away in a dedicated laundry closet.

The dramatic entry gallery, perfect for showcasing artwork, leads to a large open living room with full separate dining room, a perfect layout for entertaining. The dining room has floor-to-ceiling window panels that swing open to reveal a lovely Juliet balcony. Newly renovated and designed by Bilotta, the windowed eat-in kitchen features Porcelanosa tile backsplash and flooring, modern white quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including Sub-Zero fridge, Viking gas range, Fisher & Paykel range hood, and Miele dishwasher. Under-cabinet lighting and USB ports, a garbage disposal, tons of storage, and a concealed in-cabinet television and microwave round out this spectacular kitchen that would delight the most discriminating chef!

The master suite is a wonderful private retreat, spacious and secluded from the rest of the home, with a Juliet balcony, a huge walk-in closet and a second large closet, and a majestic and generous windowed 5-piece master bathroom with double sinks, large custom vanity, deep soaking tub, frameless glass shower, Kohler fixtures, and heated floors. The second bedroom is a bright corner room with 2 walls of glass, currently set up as a guest room/office, and the third bedroom also shares the stunning view of St Monica's church. Each bedroom has its own full bath with new vanities.

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.
