About This Property
The Empire Condominium, situated at 188 East 78th Street, stands as
an impressive luxury condo located on the Upper East Side. It's
magnificent allure lies in its unobstructed panoramic vistas that
encompass New York's urban panorama, the East River, and Central
Park. Residence 24B has been meticulously curated and offers a
spectacular use of space, privacy, and elegant detailing
throughout. This home spans 2,874 sq ft. and graces the 24th
floor.
Upon entry into this stunning home comprising of 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, you are greeted by an elegant foyer, illuminated by cove lighting and adorned with ornamental pillar columns. These elements gracefully usher you into an expansive living room and dining area that stretches continuously for nearly 27 feet. Adjacent to the foyer and the formal dining area is a generously proportioned chef's kitchen. This culinary haven adjoins to an open breakfast nook, complete with large bay windows that gaze upon the East River. The kitchen is well-appointed and boasts beautiful custom oakwood cabinetry with glass door fronts and is outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf oven/cooktop, and Miele dishwasher. The stone countertops facilitates effortless meal preparation.
Among the five bedrooms, three are discreetly nestled in tranquil private space, presently serving as primary suites. They are generously sized, well-proportioned, and have harmonious layouts, while the remaining two bedrooms face south, with one currently serving as an office/den/library adjacent to the living quarters. The fifth bedroom currently serves as an expansive large walk-in closet, adaptable for conversion into another bedroom or office. All five bedrooms are appointed with en-suite bathrooms. The powder room is handsomely adorned with exquisite onyx flooring and a chic designer stone pedestal sink. Conveniently located in the hallway, it offers easy access for guests.
This residence features 9'6' ceiling heights, oversized picture windows that usher in an abundance of natural light and spectacular views, 3 Juliette balconies, central air conditioning, stunning hardwood flooring, an abundance of closets, and custom built-in storage units throughout. The presence of pocket doors, illuminated hallway niches, and a vented washer/dryer further enhance the living experience. Storage and a designated parking spot are purchased separately.
Positioned in the heart of Manhattan, the Empire Condominium is hailed as a distinguished haven offering unparalleled 5-star amenities and services. This 32-story, 72-unit building boasts a regal entrance graced with mahogany and stone finishes, crowned by a magnificent marble and gilded-iron staircase that ascends to the second-level mezzanine where the building amenities reside. The building recently revamped and welcomed its multi-level outdoor terrace, landscaped gardens, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a resident lounge. A roof deck, playroom, central laundry facilities, and a bike room also grace the premises. The building extends a warm welcome to pets and Pied-a-Terres. Encircled by the city's premier dining establishments, cultural institutions, luxury hotels, gourmet markets, boutiques, this address provides effortless access to public transportation. The opportunity is now to transform this remarkable dwelling into your cherished home.
