Description

Perched atop one of the Upper East Side’s most coveted corridors, PHC at 151 East 83rd Street is a true trophy penthouse. Bathed in natural light and defined by exceptional scale, this renovated one-bedroom lives far beyond its footprint—a rare “treehouse in the sky” with a wraparound terrace to rival the best of them.

A gracious, well-proportioned layout unfolds into a beautifully scaled great room, where high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace anchor the space, and multiple exposures create an airy, uplifting ambiance. Double French doors open seamlessly to the terrace, enhancing the home’s effortless indoor-outdoor flow. There is ample room for both dining and comfortable living, striking a thoughtful balance between elegance and everyday ease.

The kitchen is a proper chef’s setup—refined, efficient, and built for real use—featuring a windowed sink with open city views. A windowed bathroom adds both charm and practicality, while the bedroom enjoys double exposures and excellent light throughout the day. A washer/dryer is thoughtfully tucked within the home, and discreet mini-split systems ensure year-round comfort without disrupting the apartment’s quiet, tranquil feel.

But the true showstopper lies beyond.

PHC is crowned by an extraordinary wraparound terrace, offering open skies and unobstructed exposures in nearly every direction. Completely private and not shared or connected to any neighboring outdoor space, it provides a rare sense of seclusion high above the city. Thoughtfully divided into multiple zones for dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply unwinding, the terrace elevates everyday living into something far more special. Opportunities to achieve this kind of seamless indoor-outdoor experience—particularly in a one-bedroom—are exceptionally rare.

Set within an elegant Beaux-Arts cooperative, 151 East 83rd Street offers a 24-hour attended lobby (doorman by day, porter overnight), a landscaped garden, bike room, central laundry (in addition to the apartment’s in-unit washer/dryer), and additional storage (for a fee). Pets are welcome, and co-purchasing, gifting, and guarantors are permitted. Capital assessment of $235/month. Flip tax of 1.5% paid by purchaser.

Positioned in the heart of the Upper East Side, 151 East 83rd Street offers effortless access to the very best of the neighborhood—just steps to Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with convenient proximity to multiple subway lines including the Q and 4/5/6. Beloved neighborhood staples like Eli Zabar’s, along with an array of top restaurants, cafés, and boutiques, are right outside your door, making this a quintessential Upper East Side address.
