Description

Welcome home to Apt 8B, the most sought-after 3BR/3BA layout in the luxury Arcadia condo. This stunning, sleek floor-through home has been masterfully renovated and boasts clean, modern lines and high-end finishes throughout. Enjoy striking sun-splashed northern, southern, and eastern exposures through 9-ft floor-to-ceiling windows, including gorgeous views of St. Monica's Church and the city skyline beyond. Every detail of this state-of-the-art 1,858 SF home has been well thought out, from the Nest temperature control system to the USB outlets in every room to the Hunter Douglas shades on all windows to the elegant contemporary lighting fixtures that beautifully illuminate the home throughout. Rich espresso-stained hardwood floors are a rich and exquisite contrast to the crisp white/cool gray scheme throughout the residence, and a full-size vented washer/dryer is discreetly tucked away in a dedicated laundry closet.

The dramatic entry gallery, perfect for showcasing artwork, leads to a large open living room with full separate dining room, a perfect layout for entertaining. The dining room has floor-to-ceiling window panels that swing open to reveal a lovely Juliet balcony. Newly renovated and designed by Bilotta, the windowed eat-in kitchen features Porcelanosa tile backsplash and flooring, modern white quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including Sub-Zero fridge, Viking gas range, Fisher & Paykel range hood, and Miele dishwasher. Under-cabinet lighting and USB ports, a garbage disposal, tons of storage, and a concealed in-cabinet television and microwave round out this spectacular kitchen that would delight the most discriminating chef!

The master suite is a wonderful private retreat, spacious and secluded from the rest of the home, with a Juliet balcony, a huge walk-in closet and a second large closet, and a majestic and generous windowed 5-piece master bathroom with double sinks, large custom vanity, deep soaking tub, frameless glass shower, Kohler fixtures, and heated floors. The second bedroom is a bright corner room with 2 walls of glass, currently set up as a guest room/office, and the third bedroom also shares the stunning view of St Monica's church. Each bedroom has its own full bath with new vanities.

Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, the Arcadia is a 21-story condominium designed by Costas Kondylis and built in 2005. It features a host of luxury amenities including 24-hr doorman and concierge, fitness center with separate yoga/ballet studio, private spa/massage room, screening room, library/entertainment suite with catering kitchen, children's playroom, and resident's lounge with tv and pool table. This sophisticated home is perfect for the discerning buyer looking for a truly special property. Please allow 24 hours' notice for appointments. The taxes listed include the primary residence tax abatement.

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.
