Occupying the entire 8th floor of 3 East 84th Street, this extraordinary sun-flooded ten-into-nine room residence has three large bedrooms plus a library or fourth bedroom, and a staff room, along with four full bathrooms. From the moment the private elevator doors open into the gracious entrance gallery, the apartment reveals itself as a home of timeless elegance and exceptional scale. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to balance the sophistication of prewar architecture with the comforts and conveniences of modern living. Renovated by Lee Stahl of The Renovated Home, the residence features state-of-the-art systems including central air conditioning, custom closets, moldings and millwork, soaring ceilings, and beautifully restored architectural details throughout. There is a grand entrance gallery and a large coat closet. The grand living and dining rooms are ideally suited for both elegant entertaining and intimate gatherings, each framed by French doors opening onto Juliet balconies. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the gracious living room, while the adjacent south-facing library is richly appointed with custom bookshelves and filled with natural light. The library also features a renovated full bathroom with a shower and can easily function as a fourth bedroom. The chef's kitchen is a striking blend of design and functionality. Outfitted with custom cabinetry, a large center island with seating for five, Carrara marble countertops and backsplash, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Bosch dishwasher, Wolf six-burner range and oven, and Wolf microwave. The kitchen is perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Privately situated in a separate bedroom wing, the expansive corner primary suite is serene and filled with natural light through three oversized windows. The suite features an enormous windowed dressing room with extensive custom built-ins and a luxurious windowed bathroom with radiant heated floors, a Toto toilet, and an oversized soaking tub. Two additional east-facing bedrooms offer generous closet space and share a beautifully renovated windowed bathroom with a bathtub. There is also an oversized staff bedroom with its own renovated bathroom. A laundry area with a GE washer and vented dryer and two large hallway closets complete the home. Designed in 1928 by Raymond Hood and John M. Howells-the celebrated architects behind Rockefeller Center and the Daily News Building-the building was commissioned by Joseph Medill Patterson, publisher of the New York Daily News, and remains one of Manhattan's finest examples of Art Deco architecture. The building itself is steeped in history and architectural grandeur. It offers a discreet and exclusive setting just off Fifth Avenue and Central Park, enhanced by attentive service including a doorman on duty from eight in the morning until midnight and a live-in resident manager. Additional amenities include private storage and bicycle storage. There is a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser, and the building permits up to 50% financing. There is currently a monthly assessment of $2, 092.
