182 West 82nd Street, 4-E

Some homes impress with scale. Others with design. This one does both.
At 2,766 square feet, with four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a 35-foot-wide great room and private elevator entry, Residence 4E at 182 West 82nd Street offers a rare combination of scale, design and flexibility on the Upper West Side. Redesigned behind a historic facade, this expansive condominium pairs the character and proportions of a classic prewar home with the finishes, systems and open layout of modern construction.
A private elevator opens directly into the residence, where the expansive living and dining space immediately sets this home apart. Stretching approximately 35 feet wide, this loft-like great room overlooks trees and enjoys wonderful northern light. High ceilings, crown moldings and light white-oak floors laid in a classic herringbone pattern add warmth and architectural character, while the scale allows for substantial living and dining areas without sacrificing either.
Open to the great room, the kitchen was designed to be both beautiful and highly functional. Viking appliances include an industrial cooktop, two wall ovens, dishwasher and wine cooler, while a Sub-Zero refrigerator is concealed behind custom cabinetry. A separate prep area features durable quartz composite, and the striking kitchen island combines white statuary marble with warm walnut detailing. A built-in Gaggenau microwave completes the space. The open relationship between the kitchen, living and dining areas makes the entire front of the home particularly well suited for entertaining.
The unusually large primary suite is positioned on the quiet south side of the residence, with oversized windows overlooking brownstones, brick buildings and townhouse gardens. There is ample room for a sitting area, along with a generous walk-in closet.
The oversized, windowed primary bathroom is equally impressive, with two large windows, a freestanding soaking tub and large double shower. Double sinks are undermounted beneath white statuary marble, while polished chrome fixtures, a custom grey-and-white marble floor and marble wall and door trim complete the space.
Three additional bedrooms provide the flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan, whether used as bedrooms, guest accommodations or home-office space. The additional bathrooms are elegantly finished, and a separate powder room is conveniently positioned for guests. A full-size washer and dryer is tucked into its own closet just off the kitchen.
182 West 82nd Street is an intimate, full-service boutique condominium with just 11 residences, offering the privacy of a small building with the services buyers expect from a larger one. The elevator opens directly into a private hallway, and building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, fitness center and bike storage.
The location is quintessential Upper West Side. Positioned between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, the apartment is surrounded by some of the neighborhood's best restaurants, cafés and everyday conveniences. Zabar's, Levain Bakery and the Columbus Avenue Greenmarket are all nearby, while Essential by Christophe is a personal favorite for a more elevated dinner.
Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History and Theodore Roosevelt Park are just a few blocks east, putting green space, culture and some of the best of the Upper West Side within an easy walk. Amsterdam Avenue offers an incredible concentration of restaurants and neighborhood favorites, while Broadway provides virtually every daily convenience.
Transportation is excellent, with the 1 train at both 79th and 86th Streets and the B/C trains at 81st Street-Museum of Natural History.
For buyers who love the scale and architectural character of a classic Upper West Side apartment but prefer the flexibility and ease of condominium ownership, Residence 4E offers a particularly compelling combination:2,766 square feet, four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a spectacular 35-foot-wide entertaining space, private elevator entry and boutique full-service living in the heart of the Upper West Side.
