148 East 83rd St 5E

"This incredibly ornate two bedroom apartment exudes classic New York charm. Perched atop a boutique Co-op on a beautiful Upper East Side block, the floor-through unit is flooded with light through northern, southern, and eastern exposures.

Boasting 9.5' ceilings and a total of seven rooms, the layout lends itself to privacy and creativity. Featured on the popular design site ""Apartment Therapy?, the kitchen maintains its rich original character with tasteful renovations. Details include original c. 1900 cabinets with Café antiqued mirrored glass, a marble backsplash, Brazilian soapstone countertops, Villeroy & Boch farm sink with Rohl fixtures, Bertazonni range, Viking French-door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and the original latch-door dumbwaiter converted to pantry.

Gut renovated in 2014, the bathroom features marble floors, a custom marble vanity area, polished-nickel fixtures, bathtub with overhead shower and hand-shower, two storage cabinets, and Schoolhouse Electric lighting.

Outfitted with ten energy-efficient windows, the only wood-burning fireplace in the building, gorgeous original hardwood floors, crown moldings, paneled baseboards, c. 1900 custom seven-foot doors, and original decorative plasterwork, this resplendent home is truly one of a kind. The apartment also offers an 8x6 private storage unit in the basement.

This circa 1900 mansionette is located on a tree-lined street that is both peaceful and convenient. With a total of ten units, the building is quiet and superbly maintained. Owners benefit from a newly renovated basement with immaculate private storage rooms and laundry facilities.

Just blocks from the new Whole Foods, Equinox (and various other boutique fitness studios), Central Park, the Met, Museum Mile, countless restaurants and shops, and the 4/5/6 subway lines, the neighborhood leaves nothing to be desired. Please call or email today to set up a private showing!
