Description

A truly rare find, this high-floor, three bedroom home with semi-private elevator landing is in one of the Upper East Side's most sought after, full-service condominiums.


An elegant and expansive foyer leads to a sun drenched corner living room with 11 foot floor-to-ceiling windows, separate dining area, and a Juliette balcony. The eat-in chef's kitchen features Sub-Zero, Bosch, and Miele appliances, garbage disposal, and a vented washer/dryer. A graciously sized Primary Suite soaked in southern light includes double walk-in closets, a Juliette Balcony, and a designer bathroom with heated floors, deep soaking tub, separate shower, double sinks, and a towel warmer. The second bedroom includes southern views and an en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom features double exposures, both Northern and Eastern, and ample closet space.


Additional features of the apartment include walk-in closets, 5" wide naturally finished French White Oak floors and solid core Birch doors. Storage for sale separate to purchase. Transfer fee payable by buyer in the amount of 12 months common charges due at board package submission.


The Costas Kondylis-designed Arcadia, built in 2005, is a full service luxury condominium with 46 apartments across 21 stories, and features an array of amenities including 24-hour doorman, concierge, gym, private massage room, playroom, bicycle room with fee, a library suite with catering kitchen, and a tween recreation lounge with game room. Situated on beautiful tree-lined 79th Street, Arcadia residents covet their proximity to Carl Schurz Park, the East River Esplanade, transit subway lines, and many of the neighborhood's finest schools, restaurants and gourmet markets.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
