Spanning over 3,000 square feet this sun-filled four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence is defined by its expansive scale, 10-foot ceilings, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing open western, northern, and eastern exposures.
A sprawling eat-in chef's kitchen, outfitted with professional-grade Viking and Bosch appliances, is thoughtfully positioned to provide both separation and flow, creating a seamless balance between everyday living and effortless entertaining. The loft-like living and dining area offers an impressive setting for hosting on a grand scale while remaining equally suited for more intimate gatherings. This wing of the home features two generously proportioned bedrooms with open western views, where the evening light and sunsets are truly exceptional.
The oversized primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a dressing room and oversized closet and a spa-inspired marble bathroom finished in elegant Blue de Savoie and Stellar White stone. A second bedroom and additional full bathroom are located just beyond, creating a distinct and private bedroom wing thoughtfully set apart from the main entertaining spaces. Ample hallway storage further enhances the functionality of this section of the home.
On the opposite side of the residence, just past the main entry foyer, a remarkable coat closet - larger than many private storage rooms in New York City - introduces the second wing. Currently configured as a television and relaxation room with sweeping views of the East River, this versatile space can easily accommodate a home office or library. Two additional large bedrooms are positioned here, both enjoying open river views and spectacular eastern light, offering some of the most picturesque sunrises in the city. Each bedroom is complemented by its own beautifully appointed marble bathroom, one featuring open northern city views and the other a double vanity. This wing also includes a Bosch stackable washer/dryer and a convenient linen closet.

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.
