Property Description for 505 East 84th Street

Exquisite Modern Elegance:

Welcome to a masterpiece of contemporary luxury. This meticulously gut-renovated, 20-foot wide townhouse spans approximately 5,100 square feet, offering a rare combination of impressive scale and state-of-the-art sophistication. Having undergone a comprehensive top-to-bottom renovation-further enhanced by recent high-end upgrades-this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom residence stands as a paragon of Upper East Side living.

The Interior: Grand Proportions & Designer Finishes

The home is defined by its expansive, light-filled proportions and "no-expense-spared" finishes:

Architectural Detail: The superior 20-foot width allows for grander entertaining spaces featuring Grade-A white oak flooring, three wood-burning fireplaces with restored original mantels, and a dramatic double-height ceiling in the formal dining room.

The Parlor Level: Designed for sophisticated hosting, this level contains a large formal living room as well as a bespoke bar and a separate den featuring extensive custom built-in shelving. The den features windows overlooking the two-story glassed-in dining room, affording views of the private garden and ensuring ample light permeates the entire floor.

The Chef's Sanctuary: The sublime eat-in kitchen features a massive waterfall island, Caesarstone quartz countertops, and striking imported Panda Marble backsplashes.

High-End Appliance Suite: Recently upgraded with a curated selection of professional-grade brands:

Bluestar double oven and induction range for the ultimate culinary performance.

Sub-Zero integrated refrigeration.

Wolf microwave and Thermador warming drawer.

Integrated Grohe Blue system providing instant chilled carbonated and filtered water.

The Primary Suite: A true retreat featuring a spacious walk-in closet plus two custom reach-in closets, a private terrace, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with marble mosaic floors, a Victoria & Albert walk-in shower, and a free-standing soaking tub.

Thoughtful Luxuries: The home includes custom built-in shelving in the den and the second and third-floor bedrooms, as well as a separate laundry room equipped with full-sized appliances.

Smart Home Integration: Modern convenience is at your fingertips with keypad entry, app-controlled lighting, and app-controlled heating/cooling.

The recently installed skylight features an app-controlled smart-film shade system, and motorized window treatments are installed in the upper story bedrooms.

An Outdoor Urban Oasis

The crown jewel of the garden level is the spectacular private backyard. Accessed through a wall of windows in the dining area, this oversized, 20-foot wide garden offers a serene, lush escape-perfect for al fresco dining. Additionally, the primary suite features a private terrace with motorized retractable Sunbrella shades.

Looking toward the future, the new roof (installed in 2025) was specifically engineered to allow for the construction of a roof deck if the owner desires a sky-high retreat.

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.
