Property Description for 520 East 89th Street

Introducing a rare and masterfully reimagined residence at 520 East 89th Street, where modern innovation meets timeless design in the heart of the Upper East Side. Newly completed in 2022, this exceptional seven-story, 7,200-square-foot property encompasses 6 graciously appointed bedrooms, 7 full baths, and 2 elegant powder rooms, providing a spacious and luxurious townhouse lifestyle with a fully excavated, livable cellar level. Designed with effortless entertaining in mind, the home features a 950-square-foot parlor floor for grand gatherings, a sprawling 950-square-foot chef’s kitchen and living area, two full kitchens, three bespoke wet bars, and a 900-square-foot rooftop terrace offering mesmerizing 360-degree views of the city skyline. A penthouse terrace and a meticulously landscaped, 820-square-foot backyard—complete with an outdoor kitchenette with a built-in barbecue and flourishing garden—provide seamless indoor-outdoor living, while two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and ambiance throughout the seasons. A private elevator services every floor above ground, ensuring ease and comfort throughout the home. Every inch of the residence was crafted using the finest materials and finishes. Seven-inch-thick prime-grade oak flooring runs throughout, while each bathroom is appointed with Calacatta marble, glass mosaic tile, custom Italian cabinetry, and high-end Dornbracht and Newport Brass fixtures. All windows are fitted with Lutron shades, and the residence is wired with 28 built-in speakers—reaching every bedroom, the primary bathroom, all living areas, the rooftop, and the garden—for seamless audio integration. Behind its elegant design lies a home defined by its technological sophistication and infrastructure of the highest caliber. Outfitted with cutting-edge HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, the residence offers radiant floor heating and forced-air systems for year-round comfort. A comprehensive smart home system spans all seven floors, granting intuitive control of lighting, music, shades, climate, security, and more—whether via sleek touchscreen panels on every level, smart switches in every room, or directly from your mobile device. The main kitchen, a culinary dream on the garden level, is outfitted with a full suite of premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, freezer, and wine fridge; a Wolf cooktop; two Wolf wall ovens; a Wolf microwave; and dual Miele dishwashers. On the sixth floor, the penthouse kitchen is equally equipped with a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, a Sub-Zero wine fridge, a Wolf induction oven, and a combined Wolf oven/microwave—and is enhanced by a dramatic skylight that bathes the space in natural light.

Oversized floor-to-ceiling windows further elevate the home’s luminous atmosphere, allowing light to stream into nearly every corner and connecting each level to the outdoors. The cellar level offers exceptional flexibility and can be used as a recreation space—perfect for a billiard room, table tennis setup, home gym, or media lounge.

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.
