Property Description for 140 East 83rd Street, 4-A

This exquisite three-bedroom, two-bathroom gem delivers turnkey luxury living in a full-service postwar cooperative. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the ultra-desirable Upper East Side, this residence is located just three blocks from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Meticulously planned and executed by an interior designer, this expansive Uptown residence is flooded with natural light and a chic minimalist design aesthetic. Gleaming oak floors run alongside the freshly painted walls, all complemented by windows featuring southern, eastern, and western exposures. A flexible floorplan, featuring details such as pocket doors, allows you to create the ideal living and entertaining space to suit your needs. The gracious foyer is smartly outfitted with a coat closet and walk-in, featuring the custom storage that is also found throughout the home. The open-plan living and dining spaces create a seamless flow for guests and residents alike. The 14-foot-long dining room features floor-to-ceiling built-ins, allowing for storage and design to coexist. The spacious living room features open-sky views over Lexington Avenue.

The primary suite features southeastern exposures, a generous footprint for a king-size bed and sitting area, and 3 oversized closets, including a walk-in and another that can double as a hybrid home office space. The ensuite marble bathroom houses a frameless glass shower, two medicine cabinets, and a Toto commode. The extra-large secondary bedroom offers southern views, a walk-in closet of its own, and easy access to a Calacatta marble guest bathroom and adjoining eighth closet. Lutron dimmer switches and thermostat-controlled through-the-wall air conditioners with custom covers add effortless comfort and ease to this impeccable Upper East Side sanctuary. 140 East 83rd Street is a handsome brick postwar cooperative where residents and their adored pets are spoiled by 24-hour doorman service, an on-site superintendent, and resident manager.

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.
