A grand and gorgeous Classic 8-into-7 prewar home with warm and sunny open southern exposures and an elegant classic layout, all in a coveted full-service cooperative one block from Central Park on the prime Upper East Side. A desirable line for its proportions and quality, Residence 6E at 45 East 82nd Street is a fabulous union of modern luxury and prewar charm with beautiful finishes and ceilings of nearly 10' throughout, complete with a grand South-facing living room, a large formal dining room, a massive windowed eat-in kitchen with a center island and built-in banquette as well as 3 bedrooms, a home office/service room and 3 windowed full bathrooms.

A semi-private landing ushers you 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 has a huge 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. The dining room also features wainscoting, tiered crown molding, and stunning herringbone hardwood floors, echoing details found in the living room.

The chef's windowed eat-in kitchen is expansive, 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, three beautifully proportioned, South-facing bedrooms all overlook tree-lined East 82nd Street and beyond. The primary suite features wall-to-wall customized closets as well as one walk-in closet. The en-suite windowed 4-fixture primary bathroom is finished with marble floors, a large marble-topped vanity, a stall shower and a deep soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms, each with generous customized closets, are serviced by a double 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. A generous home office/service bedroom is located in the North wing of the home and is serviced by a third windowed bathroom with a stall shower just outside.

There is a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, deeded private storage as well as bicycle storage.
