NEW TO MARKET! A truly stunning and mint condition corner Classic 6 of almost 2,000 square feet, flawlessly conceived by renowned architect and designer Alice Blank.  With exterior exposures from each and every window on an elevated floor in a distinguished full-service luxury cooperative on the prime Upper East Side, residence 8W at 40 East 83rd Street blends grand prewar scale with the sophistication of a meticulous top-to-bottom renovation, all bathed in glorious sunlight streaming through oversized windows throughout.

Off a semi-private landing, enter this home through a regal entry gallery with 9.5-foot ceilings and an oversized customized coat closet. The gallery is laid in herringbone wood floors that radiate into the entertaining rooms, flowing elegantly into a grand living room illuminated by a wall of windows facing West over Madison Avenue. The living room is gloriously proportioned and serviced by a custom designed entertainment wall featuring elegant shelving, a built-in stereo system and a cleverly designed television panel that rotates into the dining room for casual meals at home. Rivaling the size of the living room, the formal dining room is perfect for those who entertain at scale, with the same sunny western exposure for warm sun-kissed dinners at dusk. Two enlarged doorways enhance flow between the living room and dining room, concealing sleek custom built-in cabinetry on the dining room side, perfect for dinnerware storage.

The double-windowed Bilotta kitchen, which also faces West over Madison Avenue, has been brilliantly relocated so as to rest immediately adjacent the dining room, with tasteful pocket doors at either end. Finished with matte quartz granite countertops and a striated glass tile backsplash, there is overhead recessed lighting, two sinks and a top-of-the-line appliance suite including a Wolf four-burner gas range and oven vented to the exterior, a second wall oven and a microwave drawer (also by Wolf) as well as a French-door-style Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer. In addition to abundant custom cabinet and pantry space, there is a large walk-in closet just across the hall and a Sub-Zero wine fridge with a 146-bottle capacity. 

The principal bedrooms are serenely located in a dedicated wing of the home with the primary bedroom suite occupying the building's northwest corner. There is an oversized custom walk-in closet and an en-suite windowed bathroom with Waterworks Monterey flamed floor-to-ceiling tiles, chrome hardware and a stall rain shower. The second bedroom overlooks tree-lined East 83rd Street to the North and has four custom closets, including a large walk-in. The second bedroom is serviced by a sizable hall bathroom with an oversized vanity as well as a glass-enclosed deep soaking tub affront a large frosted glass window. 

Rounding out this exceptional residence is a separate guest suite/service room with a customized closet, currently in use as a home office, serviced by a third full bathroom dressed in ribbed subway tile with a Duravit soaking tub and rain shower. Additional features of this impeccable home include a dedicated customized laundry area with a washer/dryer as well as through-wall air conditioning, custom solid-core wooden doors with Soss hinges and Lutron lighting throughout.

Just one block away from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 40 East 83rd Street is a highly desired full-service prewar cooperative built in 1912 on a lush tree-lined block in the heart of the prime Upper East Side. There is a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, private storage and bicycle storage. Residents enjoy immediate proximity to Central Park, New York City's finest shopping, dining and entertainment along Madison Avenue as well as the many museums along Museum Mile and the finest educational institutions in Manhattan and close proximity to all major public transportation.
