4 East 82nd Street #3R

Nestled in a stately mansion off Fifth Avenue, this expansive, unique studio is just seconds to Central Park. Perched above a serene rear garden, this apartment has abundant golden-age details including soaring ceilings, exquisite parquet floors, and gold leafed wall paneling. Accessed via a gracious staircase, or the classic elevator, the foyer greets you with large double height closets and a vintage chandelier. A few steps up is the spacious eat-in kitchen with an artistically tiled counter top and a cleverly designed home office that can be hidden behind slatted doors. The living area is a dramatic, classically styled room adorned with ornate mahogany paneling, illuminated by a large track lighting system perfect for displaying artwork. A Murphy bed is creatively and discretely installed behind the paneled walls, offering both function and charm.

Located at 4 East 82nd, the Gustav L. Jaeger house is a historic mansion on one of New York's grandest blocks. Designed and built in 1888 by Edward Kilpatrick as one of six Queen Anne style townhouses, the building was modernized and converted to apartments in 1959. The building retains its old world grandeur with wide hallways, a gracious staircase, laundry facilities, and an elevator and is a stone's throw from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and surrounded by the best restaurants, shops and art galleries the Upper East Side has to offer. 60% financing is permitted, as well as pets and pied-a-terre. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
