With an almost 100 foot terrace that runs the full length of this penthouse apartment, two fireplaces and two split master bedrooms, this mint condition apartment is a sophisticated aerie that cannot be duplicated.  Expansive windows look out on the greenery of the terrace, with professional plantings, irrigation and lighting.  This high ceiling  apartment is filled with light all day and is serenely quiet.  Step outside in the evening and watch the sun set over Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.  There are four doors to the terrace, including one from each of the bedrooms.

The two large, private master bedrooms have en suite baths and multiple huge walk-in closets.  It is possible to re-configure the space to create a third bedroom. There is  also an office with large file storage closets.

You can easily seat 12 for dinner in the dining room that joins the two ends of a large great room, with wood burning fireplaces on each end. The extensive open living area, in addition to the endless expanse of the terrace with multiple entry points, makes it an inviting home for entertaining. The kitchen is supplemented by a large butler's pantry with a wine refrigerator, an additional sink and dishwasher, and floor to ceiling cabinetry.  There is the potential to convert the butler's pantry into an additional kosher kitchen.

High end cabinets, enviable closet space, and library shelving ensure that there is a place for everything, even if you are downsizing from a larger home.  The apartment has a front door and a service entrance.  The floor plan shows the two F-line entrances that are currently closed, but which can be re-opened.

Set on a lovely tree-lined street between Fifth and Madison Avenues, 8 East 83rd Street is a sought-after white-glove building offering residents the conveniences of full-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, an attended garage with direct building access, plus laundry and bicycle rooms. Pets and pieds a terre are permitted on a case by case basis.  There is an assessment of $600.37 / month through March 2019 to fund capital projects in the building.  Common Halls, the lobby and the facade are currently being renovated.
