The living room spans over 21 feet, anchored by an Art Deco Marquina marble decorative fireplace and finished in modern Venetian plaster with custom architectural grilles, Restoration Hardware alabaster sconces, and Pierre Frey window treatments. It flows directly into the formal dining room, where Philip Jeffries metallic grasscloth wall treatment, a J. Robert Scott chandelier, and PE Guerin molding mercury glass mirrors set the stage for formal entertaining. French doors open to a private terrace finished in Mediterranean tile, extending the entertaining sequence outdoors.
The eat-in kitchen is outfitted with custom Siematic lacquer cabinetry, a quartz LED countertop island, herringbone marble hand-cut tiles by Artistic Tile, and custom polished nickel door frames. Appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Gaggenau double steam and convection ovens, Gaggenau dishwasher, Thermador electric cooktop, and a dedicated wine cooler. A Dornbracht faucet and butler sink, Hamilton Sinkler hardware, and Kreon modular lighting complete the space. Adjacent, a custom banquette and Nancy Corzine Lucite oval glass-top table create an intimate breakfast nook, while a separate dining room, full bathroom, and washer/dryer round out the service wing.
The primary suite is dressed in Philip Jeffries velvet with a Garrett Leather accent wall, Tom Dixon mirror ball pendant lights, a custom bronze door frame, and brushed stainless steel closet hardware. The en-suite bath is finished in Vanilla Onyx vein-cut marble by Artistic Tile, with a Bain Ultra soaking tub, THG hardware in luxe brass and black onyx, and a Nella Vetrina vanity. A second primary suite features a Maya Romanoff silver birch chevron wood veneer wall treatment and an en-suite bath finished in Artistic Tile shagreen porcelain with a Restoration Hardware Cela vanity and a Seura custom mirror with integrated television. Two additional bedrooms are equally well-appointed, each with distinctive wall treatments and en-suite baths finished in Carrara porcelain and Waterworks mosaic tile respectively.
Throughout the residence, herringbone oak floors, custom oak doors, PE Guerin gold hardware, and a Savant smart-home system controlling lighting, window treatments, and sound reflect a renovation where no detail was overlooked. The entrance gallery sets an immediate tone with a hand gold-leafed elevator, a forged bronze metal door, and New Ravenna smoked stone and river shell mosaic floors by Artistic Tile.

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.
