Description
One enters the home from a semi-private elevator landing into a cheerful, square entry foyer, complete with 3 over-sized closets – including 2 huge walk-in closets (one of which is being utilized as a pantry complete with a second refrigerator) and a chic powder room.
Beyond the foyer is a massive great room which includes a sizable dining area, a large open kitchen with an eat-at counter, a bar area with its own wine fridge, and a gracious formal living space with a balcony. A potential fifth bedroom – currently set up as a library/den – is accessible from the loft-like great room via pocket doors, adding to the flexibility and function of this floorplan which allows for easy everyday living and large scale formal entertaining.
The sun-flooded open chef’s kitchen is well-appointed with new top-of-the-line appliances, including a SubZero refrigerator/freezer, Wolf 6-burner range/oven, Miele convection oven/microwave, Miele dishwasher, and wine fridge, counter seating, tasteful black marble counter tops and custom cabinetry.
The bedroom wing is located on the opposite side of the home – ensuring maximum privacy. Two of the secondary bedrooms are massive by modern standards – easily accommodating multiple beds and featuring their own closets and ensuite bathrooms. A fourth smaller bedroom, also complete with a closet and an ensuite bathroom, comfortably fits a twin bed, but would also be a perfect guest room, office or nursery depending on your needs. A vented industrial Electrolux washer/dryer is conveniently located from the main bedroom hallway, as well as a separate linen closet.
The oversized primary suite is a dream with sweeping north and west exposures of both the Upper East Side skyline and Central Park, custom millwork, plush window seats, three closets (one of which is a large walk-in closet, as well as a stand-alone shoe closet), and Juliette balcony. The spa-like primary bathroom has heated floors, a double-sized glass enclosed shower, double sinks, and a windowed sit-down vanity.
One of the Upper East Side’s most desirable full-service, luxury condominiums, The Empire is known for its fantastic staff (including 24-hour doorman) and elegant double-height lobby. A sweeping staircase leads to a mezzanine level lobby that hosts a full suite of recently upgraded amenities, including a magnificent, windowed gym overlooking 78th Street, a children’s playroom, a business center/conference room, and a party/lounge space with a separate catering area. A newly-renovated, multi-level landscaped outdoor courtyard with grills and numerous seating areas provides a private outdoor oasis for all residents. In addition, the building hallways were just updated and there is a separately-managed parking garage on site – the ultimate convenience.
Pets, pied-a-terres, investors, and up to 90% financing permitted. A private storage unit is available for separate purchase. Please note, taxes reflect post-abatement numbers for primary residence.
