Some homes feel like they've been waiting for you. This trophy penthouse on the Upper East Side doesn't just wait--it welcomes, with open views from its wraparound terrace that remind you why living high above the city changes everything. Esteemed firm Barlis Wedlick handled the renovation, and it shows in the details: nothing fussy, nothing left to chance, every choice serving both elegance and ease.
The great room stretches out in double exposure, sunlight tumbling across a wood-burning fireplace wrapped in Calacatta marble. The kitchen--European in both style and efficiency--is dressed in granite counters, custom cabinetry, and the sort of appliances (Miele, Liebherr, Bosch, Smeg) that make cooking feel like a celebration.
In the corner bedroom, you wake to greenery and sky. There's a quiet nook for work or daydreaming, and closets--many of them--built to hold more than just your wardrobe. The bath is clad in Carrera marble, with a soaking tub that invites you to linger. Ten-foot ceilings, white oak floors, central air, and a truly spectacular private terrace complete the picture.
151 East 83rd is a distinguished Beaux-Arts co-op with a landscaped entry garden, live-in super, and full-time staff, just moments from Central Park, the Met, Whole Foods, and express subways. The building allows up to 75% financing and there is a 1.5% flip tax. Pets, co-purchasing, gifting, and guarantors are welcome, and in unit washer/dryers are permitted.
There is an ongoing capital assessment for $235 per month.
