157 E 84TH Street #2NDFLR

This stunning private, full-floor loft has a wonderful feeling of space and width not easily found uptown. With high ceilings and wide hallways throughout, beautiful hard-wood floors, and many decorative details including Venetian plastered walls, this elegant residence is both a spacious loft and a beautifully designed and appointed uptown home. A customized floorplan makes this apartment unique in the building and a fabulous setting for formal entertaining or more casual loft living with all the conveniences of an Upper East Side address. Located in The Legacy, a limestone clad, full-service boutique condominium designed by architect Costas Kondylis, the apartment has 4 over-sized bedrooms (one currently used as a formal library) and 4 and a half baths in over 5,100 square feet. A gracious entrance foyer opens to the perfectly proportioned 37 by 22 foot living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows, a wood burning fireplace with customized stone wall surround and ceilings close to 11 feet complete the dramatic living room experience. The adjacent, spacious library, also facing south with floor-to-ceiling windows, has its own en-suite bathroom and can be opened or closed by specially designed pocket doors for alternative use as bedroom. A luxurious, comfortable media room connects to the living room and to the gorgeous, oversized kitchen which is big enough to cook and play in. With two 36 inch Sub Zero refrigerators, two Miele dishwashers, a Viking range, a walk-in pantry, a large banquette that seats six easily and a great chef's island, this is a rare NYC kitchen. The spacious, quiet north facing bedrooms look out onto small planted terraces, providing a pretty landscaped exposure. Each bedroom has a beautiful en-suite bathroom, and the truly luxurious master bedroom suite offers a spa-like bathroom of approximately 400 square feet with huge soaking tub, shower room, double-sink, radiant heat flooring and perfect custom designed closets. A full laundry room, a built out mud room and a home office complete the space and make this one of the most beautiful and livable apartments on the market. The details of the residence are completely up to date with a Crestron system to control the central air and heating system, lighting and music. There is an integrated AV system as well. 157 East 84th is a full-service condominium with full time doorman and superintendent. The building also features a roof deck with an outdoor kitchen and grill, an exercise room and additional laundry room in the basement. Dogs and cats are welcome (with building approval).
