NEW TO MARKET! A rarely available, gorgeous and stately Classic 8-into-7 prewar home in a coveted full-service cooperative one block from Central Park on the prime Upper East Side. A flawless union of prewar charm and modern luxury, Residence 6E at 45 East 82nd Street features a grand South-facing living room, a large formal dining room, a huge windowed eat-in kitchen with a center island and built-in banquette as well as 4 bedrooms and 3 windowed bathrooms with ceilings at nearly 10' throughout.

Enter off of a semi-private landing and into an oversized gallery with high beamed ceilings overhead and handsome herringbone hardwood floors which radiate throughout the entertaining wing of this majestic home. The gallery is complete with an usually large customized walk-in coat closet and leads to a stately living room stretching nearly 27' deep. Warm southern sunlight pours in through oversized windows, and elegant wainscoting and crown molding along with a wall of custom built-ins offer a contemporary flare.

Perfectly situated across the gallery between the living room and the windowed eat-in kitchen, the formal dining room can accommodate even the largest of holiday gatherings, ideal for those who enjoy entertaining at scale. Repeating the motifs found in the living room, the dining room is also complete with wainscoting, tiered crown molding and beautiful herringbone hardwood floors.

The chef's windowed eat-in kitchen is massive, with a central island equipped with a double sink basin as well as a built-in corner banquette for more casual meals. Finished with a glass-tiled backsplash and white quartz countertops the kitchen also offers extensive custom cabinetry including a full wall of built-in pantry storage. The appliance suite consists of a 5-burner stainless steel gas range with a built-in splash plate and a vented hood above, a French-door style Subzero refrigerator and freezer with ice maker, and a suite of GE Profile appliances including a mounted stainless steel oven with separate convection oven/microwave, a full-sized dishwasher and a subcounter wine fridge. Just outside of the kitchen, there is a laundry closet with a full-sized washer and dryer that vents.

In the separate and peaceful sleeping wing there are three beautifully proportioned bedrooms, all South-facing overlooking tree-lined East 82nd Street. The primary suite features three oversized custom closets as well as one walk-in closet and a large windowed en-suite bathroom clad in neutral subway tiles with marble countertops and floor tiles. In addition to an enlarged vanity, there is also a stall shower and a separate deep soaking tub. There are two additional bedrooms which each have spacious customized closets and are serviced by an enlarged bathroom off of the principle bedroom corridor. The common windowed bathroom features a deep soaking tub and two vanities which are thoughtfully divided by a solid core pocket door to serve flexibly as a powder room when entertaining. The fourth bedroom is located in the North wing of the home and is currently in use as a sizable guest room/home office, serviced by a third windowed bathroom with a stall shower just outside.

Just one block away from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 45 East 82nd 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, deeded private storage and bicycle storage.
