Property Description for 151 East 83rd Street, 5-E
Apartment 5E at 151 East 83rd Street is a rare opportunity to acquire a sophisticated, move-in condition two-bedroom home at an extraordinary value. The value lies in the abundant prewar details and great layout starting with a classic foyer, with an arched entryway leading into the spacious living room, featuring covered ceiling beams and a statement working fireplace – a highly coveted pre-war treasure. To the right are two generously proportioned bedrooms, each with an ensuite windowed bathroom. The primary bedroom enjoys the corner with windows north and east, ensuring abundant morning light.
At the right end of the foyer is a windowed kitchen with a separate gourmand-ready walk-in pantry and pristine French marble mosaic flooring. The pantry can be used alternatively as storage or could be easily reverted into the powder room it was originally.
The apartment faces into an English-style courtyard garden, which means it’s quiet! Couples or smaller families can enjoy sleep unencumbered by the disruptive sounds so often experienced in the area. In addition to full-service staff and an on-site resident manager, the building is pet friendly and is graced by a classic Beaux Arts hand cast brick & limestone facade.
151 East 83rd Street is near a wide array of boutiques, food stores including Whole Foods and Citarella, restaurants and is also close to Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and key metro lines. In a nutshell, on offer is every desirable quality — an excellent easy-to-live-in layout in a top building in a superb neighborhood.

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.
