Description

Apartment 12C at 301 East 79th Street has been completely transformed into a luxurious one-bedroom with convertible second room and one bathroom- perched on the 12th floor of the iconic Continental Towers. 12C has been outfitted with gorgeous wide plank hardwood floors, an updated kitchen and bathroom, led lighting, and the cherry on top- a convertible second room that is perfect for guest stays, a home office, yoga studio/gym, and so much more.

The windows of 12C frame the historic east side cityscape, with soft indirect sunlight casting throughout this serene, high-floor home in the sky. With room for a four-top dining table and a living room that stretches nearly 30 feet, 12C is one of the best one-bedroom apartments available for hosting friends and family. The kitchen is finished in chic reflective tile and granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, soft-close cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances. The bedroom is a large luxurious suite that has been divided into two distinct spaces by solid wood sliding doors with frosted glass- creating the opportunity for a perfect live/work space that can also double as a guest room. Down the hallway off the bedroom, you will find a dressing room with three custom-built closets, which leads through to the renovated bathroom with storage and a shower/tub combo.

Continental Towers is a fully staffed luxury condominium, including full-time doorman, concierge and live-in superintendent. This building is stocked with every amenity- residents can enjoy the landscaped roof deck and garden, central laundry, storage, fitness center, and on-site parking,, all for incredibly low common charges. Centrally located in the heart of Yorkville, at the NE corner of 79th Street and Second Avenue. The building is surrounded by the best dining, shopping and entertainment options that the Upper East Side is known for. You'll find great outdoor space to the west and east at Central Park, John Jay and Carl Schurz Parks respectively. Transportation is effortless with the Q, 4-5-6 trains and M79 crosstown bus service all nearby.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
