Description

5th Ave/83rd St - Triple Mint 14 Room Prewar Cooperative

This triple mint, approximately 8000 sq ft residence, is located in one of the Manhattan's finest prewar cooperative buildings at Fifth Avenue and East 83rd Street. The apartment recently underwent a two year renovation, resulting in a pristine and stunning 14 room home. No expense was spared in creating a classic and modern space.

A private elevator landing opens into an elegant gallery which leads to a spectacular 70 ft expanse of entertainment rooms facing onto 5th Avenue and overlooking the Metropolitan Museum Of Arts' tree-lined landscaped plaza and fountains. The vast center living room is 32 x 26, and the adjacent dining room can easily accommodate 24 guests. Adjacent to the dining room is a 1000-bottle wine room, which is temperature controlled and humidified. The impressive corner library is renovated in wire-brushed ebonized larch, with a hand-applied matte Italian lacquer finish. Next to the library is a large study facing onto tree-lined 83rd St. Two guest bathrooms complete the entertainment wing of the home.

At the center of the floor plan is the amazing and enormous 500 square foot eat-in-kitchen, with outstanding storage space, long-plank hardwood flooring and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. The adjacent butler's pantry leads back to a an additional smaller dining area for more intimate seating. Across the hall from the eat-in-kitchen is an enormous 18 x 25 playroom/ sitting room, which also faces onto tree-lined East 83rd Street.

The private bedroom wing of the home consists of five well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own renovated en-suite bathroom . The massive primary suite is arguably the largest of its kind in Manhattan, and boasts colossal amounts of closets space, double dressing areas, and double bathrooms renovated with classic and timeless white marble.

Discreetly tucked away off of the main bedroom corridor is a large laundry room, and a staff bedroom with bath en-suite.

Residents of this limestone-clad , white-glove prewar cooperative built in 1926 enjoy the highest levels of service, privacy and security. There is a fitness center and ample storage on the lower level of the building.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
