500 East 83rd Street
architects′ dream perfectly positioned within a premier full-service cooperative on york avenue in the east 80s, this sun-splashed three-bedroom, two-bath residence offers remarkable light, scale, and potential. with three exposures and expansive picture windows framing open city and sky vistas, the home is bathed in natural illumination throughout the day — an ever-shifting canvas that imbues each room with warmth and serenity.
a gracious entry foyer opens to an expansive living room and adjoining dining area — an inviting setting for both grand entertaining and relaxed everyday living. the layout achieves a seamless balance between openness and defined rooms, preserving privacy and proportion — hallmarks of the building’s classic postwar design. the windowed kitchen, like the rest of the residence, awaits a custom renovation, offering the opportunity to craft a home of refined modern comfort tailored to personal vision.
all three bedrooms are generously proportioned and well separated from the main living areas. the east-facing primary suite enjoys tranquil morning light and features abundant storage, including three large closets and en suite bath. the second bedroom, also with an en suite bath, offers flexibility and bright open views, while the spacious third bedroom, facing west, makes an ideal guest room, library, or home office. throughout, airy volumes and timeless proportions define the space, inviting a thoughtful reimagination.
the morad is celebrated for its exceptional amenities and enduring reputation as one of the upper east side’s most desirable cooperatives. residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fully equipped health club with yoga and fitness studios, an indoor swimming pool, sauna, landscaped roof deck with sweeping river and city views, and an attended garage. additional conveniences include private storage, bicycle room, and laundry facilities.
ideally situated moments from the east river promenade and carl schurz park, the location offers a peaceful residential ambience with effortless access to manhattan’s cultural heartbeat. the neighborhood is home to distinguished schools such as brearley, chapin, and lycée français — as well as a wealth of neighborhood cafés, boutiques, fitness studios, and the second avenue subway. the cooperative welcomes pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, gifting, and pets, making it as flexible as it is refined.
a rare offering defined by light, elegance, and potential — a canvas awaiting its next expression of timeless upper east side living.
