Description

Discover unparalleled luxury in this grand four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence, spanning over 2,600 sq ft in the prestigious Belaire Condominium. Situated in the heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side and boasting panoramic views across three exposures, Unit 38ABG offers not merely a residence but a veritable masterpiece of refined living. Enter the Belaire's most coveted line, featuring expansive views to the south, north, and east—each vista more breathtaking than the last. On clear days, the East River stretches out towards the Brooklyn Bridge, and annually, the residence affords "front-row" seats to the spectacular July 4th fireworks. However, the allure of this property extends beyond its external views. The meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful detailing throughout every room are testament to the profound care and passion invested in customizing this exceptional home. Upon entering, you are greeted by an entry hall of sophisticated elegance, adorned with Italian-crafted white marble flooring with subtle pink shading and inlaid Galaxy granite black diamonds. An iconic, modern recessed niche designed for displaying decorative arts leads to the abstract, walnut-framed Japanese accent panel inset with onyx stone at the corridor's end. Turning right unveils awe-inspiring river & city views to the south and east. The capacious living space, measuring over 410 square feet, currently accommodates a baby grand piano and a complete living room set with space to spare. The exquisite cherry herringbone wood floor with a walnut border guides you to the galley-style, windowed kitchen, appearing virtually new. It features solid wood cabinetry in rich, deep tones, black granite countertops, and a suite of high-end appliances, including a double-sized Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Thermador 6-burner range with Zephyr hood, a built-in Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher. A pocket door provides privacy when entertaining. Adjacent, a formal dining room comfortably accommodates a table for at least ten people, complemented by a full wet bar/butler's pantry and additional bench seating with storage. A north and east-facing wall of windows creates the quintessential Manhattan backdrop for your gatherings. Branching off the entry hall are the private living quarters, with four bedrooms, each featuring an en-suite bathroom. Choose between two opulent primary bedrooms: - The south-facing suite offers a double-exposure sanctuary, including a solarium-like arched vestibule with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. It features four total closets with invisible hinges, including two double-sized with built-in California-style wood interiors, and a cedar-lined walk-in with a shelved-linen closet. The en-suite bathroom boasts a separate stand-up shower, a soaking jetted bathtub, and a heated towel rack. - The grand north-facing suite at the end of a small hallway captivates with extensive views towards uptown as well as Roosevelt Island and Queens. This suite includes exquisitely crafted built-ins providing ample storage, a built-in entertainment center, & a four-section library hutch/desk. A hidden spa-like bathroom features heated floors, a double-sized marble-tiled shower with steam pump & seat, and a heated towel rack. An adjacent cozy home office with a picturesque view & a tucked-away laundry closet with a stacked LG vented washer/dryer complete the suite. The remaining two bedrooms each offer ample space, built-in storage, & private bathrooms. The Belaire Condominiums feature a secluded main entrance in a cul-de-sac on East 72nd Street and offer a range of premium amenities, including a glass-enclosed health club with a 60-foot heated swimming pool. Residents benefit from a full-time doorman, concierge service, on-site parking garage, and a sauna, among other facilities such as a playroom, meeting room, social room, & storage rooms—one included with this home.
