Description

16 East 84th Street, #4AB - Historic Elegance Meets Modern Comfort on the Upper East Side
 
Step into true New York history at 16 East 84th Street, a distinguished pre-war condominium just off Fifth Avenue. Built in 1900 by famed architects Clinton & Russell for George Gordon King-scion of one of New York and Newport's most prominent families-this building is part of a trio of grand neo-Federal and neo-Georgian mansions that once defined Upper East Side high society.
 
Residence #4AB offers 2,033 square feet of gracious living space, with three bedrooms, two baths, private outdoor terrace with views of the Met, and soaring ceilings that flood the home with natural light. Original architectural charm is preserved in the hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and expansive room proportions, while thoughtful updates provide the ease of modern living-including an in-unit washer/dryer and a reimagined chef's kitchen.
 
Buyers seeking the soul and craftsmanship of a bygone era will appreciate the thick masonry walls for quiet privacy, grand room scale, and elegant detailing that new construction simply can't replicate. This is more than an apartment-it's a living piece of architectural heritage, with the character and permanence only pre-war design can offer.
 
Situated on a tree-lined block just steps from Central Park, world-class museums, and Madison Avenue boutiques, #4AB offers the serenity of a residential enclave with the vibrancy of Manhattan's cultural core at your doorstep.
 
From society receptions in the early 1900s to the careful conversion into boutique residences in the mid-20th century, 16 East 84th Street has remained a coveted address. The building's stately facade, Ionic portico, and Flemish-bond brickwork still greet residents and guests with a sense of timeless grandeur. Live in a home that blends historic elegance with modern livability-a rare opportunity to own a chapter of New York's architectural story.
