The Arcadia is a 21-story condominium in the Upper East Side with views of St Monica's church and the neighborhood. Amenities include a 24-hr doorman, fitness center, spa, screening room, library, playroom, and resident's lounge, with convenient access to public transportation.
The Arcadia stands as a distinctive 21 story luxury condominium at 408 East 79th Street, designed by renowned architect Costas Kondylis and completed in 2005. Built on the former site of the Phillips auction house, this boutique building contains just 45 residences and features a rare architectural element: a cantilever at the seventh floor that extends over an adjacent low rise building using transferred air rights, an uncommon phenomenon in New York City construction.
The building's apartments showcase floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Gothic style St. Monica's Catholic Church across the street, which creates a particularly striking nighttime backdrop when illuminated. Common apartment features include high ceilings ranging from 9 to 11 feet, in-unit washer/dryer units, custom built ins and closets, and luxury appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. Many units feature hardwood floors, marble bathrooms with radiant heating, and layouts ranging from one bedroom apartments to a spectacular full floor residence spanning 3,800+ square feet. The building also offers a penthouse with a 1,000 square foot private rooftop terrace equipped with a summer kitchen.
Residents enjoy white glove service with 24 hour doorman and concierge, along with recently renovated amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness center with separate yoga/ballet studio, private spa and massage room, screening room, library and entertainment suite with catering kitchen, children's playroom, and residents' lounge. The pet friendly building benefits from an excellent Upper East Side location with convenient access to the Second Avenue subway, Carl Schurz Park, the East River Esplanade, and neighborhood favorites like Agata & Valentina market directly across the street.
