4 E 82ND Street #1F2F

Nestled on one of the Upper East Side's most treasured blocks, just steps from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Residence 1F2F is a rare offering that combines architectural grandeur with modern sophistication. Within an intimate boutique cooperative, the striking two-bedroom, two-bath duplex offers a serene retreat from the city and a distinguished setting for entertaining.

This one-of-a-kind apartment reveals a spectacular grand parlor/living room with soaring 14-foot ceilings, intricate moldings and millwork, arched doorways, and an ornate decorative fireplace that speaks to timeless craftsmanship. Adjacent is a luminous sitting room with a coffered ceiling and wet bar, offering the perfect space for intimate conversations or quiet study. Mirrors have been artfully placed to amplify natural light, ensuring the living spaces remain beautifully bright throughout the day. The tranquil primary suite, with a modern granite bath, completes the upper level.

The lower level features a generously scaled second bedroom - bathed in natural light and currently serving as a home office and family room - alongside a full bath and a thoughtfully designed galley kitchen with granite countertops, a gorgeous tile backsplash, and a suite of professional Viking appliances.

Additional home highlights include hardwood flooring beneath carpeting, abundant storage throughout, and the ability to add in-unit laundry. With its graceful proportions, rich architectural detail, and light-filled ambiance, Residence 1F2F is ideally suited for the discerning buyer who seeks both a refined private sanctuary and an elegant salon for entertaining.

The cooperative is located within an historic Queen Anne style mansion, one of only six designed by Edward Kilpatrick in 1888 and converted in 1959. The building offers pre-war charm while providing modern facilities such as in-building laundry and an elevator.

Beyond its walls, the neighborhood reflects the quiet sophistication for which the Upper East Side is renowned. Minutes from The Met and Museum Mile, Central Park's tree-lined paths, and the salons of Madison Avenue are moments away, along with esteemed cultural institutions, private clubs, and fine dining establishments that define the area's heritage. Discreet yet convenient transportation options provide effortless access to the rest of Manhattan, while preserving the timeless elegance that makes this enclave so coveted.

Pet-friendly, pied-a-terre permitted, up to 60% financing. 2% flip tax paid by the buyer.
