A psychedelic rainbow delight of an apartment has hit the market on the Upper East Side for $8.75 million.
The floor-through unit at 188 E. 76th St. is the longtime home of the artist Apryl Miller, who successfully sought to cover every inch of the space in color.
“The idea always was to make a very special home for my children,” Miller, who purchased the five-bedroom abode with her former husband in 1998, told the New York Times. “I wanted my daughters to feel they knew the place was for them. Color is rejuvenating, and colors have souls. I didn’t want white walls.”
The resulting kaleidoscopic world has merited the apartment appearances in numerous publications, social media posts, the Netflix documentary series “Amazing Interiors,” MTV’s “Teen Cribs” and a part in the Open House New York tours, the Times wrote.
From a private landing, there are two entrances to the apartment. The main one leads into a foyer, which in turn leads into the grand, 28-foot living room, off of which is a media room. There’s a formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen with center island, a breakfast bar, painted herringbone floors inlaid with geometric designs and cerulean blue cabinets,
The bedrooms compose the rest of the unit, with the primary suite featuring its own bathroom with dual sinks, a tiled tub, two walk-in closets and sweeping views of the East River.
In all, the technicolor home is 4,076 square feet and is located near the top of the 31-story Siena condominium.
As for why Miller has chosen to move, she told the Times that her daughters are grown and now the apartment is simply “too big.”
The listing is held by Stan Ponte and Colin Montgomery of Sotheby’s International Realty.
