25 E 83rd Street #4E

Welcome to this fabulous turn-key 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, perfectly situated on the Upper East Side’s Gold Coast at 83rd Street and Madison Avenue in an architecturally significant boutique cooperative. Enter into this special residence’s elegant lacquered-paneled foyer, off of which is a hidden coat closet with a full-length mirror, shelving and extensive concealed custom storage. The foyer flows into the expansive living room, which faces south over tree-lined 83rd Street and boasts lofty 9’1" ceilings. The dining area accommodates up to twelve, or more, in various table configurations. A sleek built-in lacquered credenza provides substantial storage. Thoughtfulness of these spaces eliminates visual clutter while providing easy living. Gracious entertaining is ensured by the kitchen’s pass-through, an opening that serves as a pre-meal drinks station for gathering and conversation, a service window to the dining table, and — with the doors closed — an easy means to conceal kitchen mess from guests and maintain calm. The kitchen benefits from a window onto 83rd Street, and includes lacquered custom cabinetry with substantial storage, durable engineered quartz stone countertops and tiled floor, easy-clean backsplash, top-of-the-line appliances by SubZero, Dacor, Franke, Asko, and under counter reverse osmosis water filtration by Culligan — all configured to create the triangular workflow efficiency that home chefs seek. Also, an adjacent pantry with complementary lacquered panels conceal extended storage. Remaining rooms enjoy the comfort and beauty of new pristine handloomed wall-to-wall carpet. The primary bedroom suite is serenely situated in the back of the residence. Separated from the living space, it offers privacy, with a tree and rear yard view. This bedroom oasis comfortably fits a king-sized bed with room to spare for relaxed seating. The en suite bathroom echoes contemporary Italian design connecting to a well-proportioned dressing foyer and two walk-in closets with custom built-ins. The second bedroom currently features the multi-functionality of a tranquil den/library, concealed work-from-home office suite and an inviting guest room — all enjoying an additional dressing foyer and two walk-in closets with custom built-ins supporting storage, filing, copying and printing. In the adjacent hallway you’ll find the guest’s full bathroom, thoughtfully restored to feature much of the original 1938 appointments along with contemporary upgrades. Also, in the hallway, is a generous linen closet with a separate compartment for cleaning essentials. The residence is approved for the addition of a washer/dryer at owner’s discretion. Should you choose not to install a washer/dryer, the building’s common laundry room is approximately 90 seconds from your front door (the 4 oversized washers and 3 dryers make quick work of this chore, leaving plenty of time for other priority activities — you’ll appreciate this efficiency compared to one small machine). Designed by acclaimed architect, Frederick Lee Ackerman, in 1938 during the early Modernist Movement, 25 East 83rd Street is a boutique 12-story cooperative prominently located on the northwest corner of 83rd Street and Madison Avenue. The building enjoys desirable service levels from the high-staff to resident ratio, including a full-time welcoming doorman, responsive live-in superintendent, as well as a beautiful rooftop garden deck with views to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum, elegant lobby, bicycle storage, fitness room, soundproofing between floors and adjacent apartments, and is financially sound and superbly maintained. Adjacent to the world-renowned Central Park and Museum Mile, exceptional schools (both public and private), the finest restaurants, and exquisite shops of Madison Avenue. Pets, pied-à-terres & 75% financing are permitted. Heat, electricity & central AC are included in the reasonable maintenance. A 2% flip tax is paid by the seller.
