Description

179 East 79th Street, #11B A lovely corner co-op nestled in the heart of the Upper East Side, this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is a paradigm of classic city living. Features of the apartment include beamed ceilings, sash windows, northern, southern and eastern exposure, beautiful hardwood floors, new crown molding, custom A/C covers, Nest capability, and custom closets. Several upgrades like skim coated walls and a new electrical box have also been made. The home begins with a welcoming gallery adorned with a large coat closet and plenty of space for a shoe bench and entry table. The gallery leads into a large living and dining space as well as a windowed galley-style kitchen with painted tiled floors, new light fixtures, and high-end stainless steel appliances including a brand new dishwasher. Spacious and bright, the bedroom has dual exposure, a pair of custom closets, and easy access to a windowed full bathroom with tiled floors and walls and a deep soaking tub. 179 East 79th Street is a prewar co-op with a 24-hour doorman, private storage, a bicycle room, common laundry, and a tranquil residents-only garden. The building is moments from dozens of restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops, and it is four blocks from Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Nearby subway lines include the 4/5/6/Q. Pieds-a-terre and financing up to 75% are welcome. 2% flip tax to purchaser. Pets are welcome with a 40-lb weight limit for dogs. Unit 11B holds 247 shares of the co-op.

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.
