Redesigned by acclaimed architect Anne Manning, this custom double-corner home was created within the building's coveted C-line and thoughtfully planned for scale, flow, and livability. The layout includes a large open living and dining room with access to one of the two private terraces, a separate media room or den, a spacious eat-in kitchen, a private bedroom wing, a gallery-style entry hall with museum lighting and generous wall and storage space, and an en-suite laundry room.
The kitchen is both refined and highly functional, finished with stone countertops, extensive custom cabinetry, and a full suite of top-tier Miele appliances including three ovens, a gas cooktop, filtered cold water, and instant hot water. A custom corner banquette is perfectly positioned to take in western views over Central Park and southern skyline vistas.
The bedroom suites are designed as quiet, light-filled retreats. The corner primary suite enjoys east and south exposures, its own entry hall, a dressing area, a wall of custom walk-in closets, and direct access to a private terrace. The en-suite marble bath features mosaic marble floors, Thassos marble walls, custom cabinetry, an oversized marble sink with dual Fantini faucets, and a glass-enclosed corner shower with open views.
The second bedroom suite offers generous proportions, dramatic southern views, a wall of custom closets, and an en-suite marble bath with Duravit soaking tub, Gessi fixtures, and custom cabinetry. The third bedroom is currently configured as a den with custom millwork, a built-in desk, closets, and open views, and can easily function as a bedroom. A large powder room is located off the gallery hall and is finished with honed limestone walls, marble floors, and a custom sink and vanity.
Every element of the residence has been carefully considered and executed. Features include coved lighting, bespoke millwork throughout, five-inch wide hardwood plank floors in cerused white oak, curated designer lighting, heated bathroom floors, electric blinds, a hidden bar, a hidden safe, and five-star fixtures. The home is equipped with an integrated AV system and has been further enhanced by the current owner with upgraded AV and HVAC systems throughout.
A rare, turnkey offering combining architectural rigor, meticulous craftsmanship, and truly iconic city and park views.
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.
