Description
Move right in to this elegant and sunny pre-war home in the heart of the Upper East Side. Generous proportions are the hallmark of this turn-key apartment. The welcoming foyer with ample space and coat closet gives way to the expansive south-facing living/dining room, with tree-line views, high, beamed ceilings, and beautiful hardwood oak floors. The living room also boasts through-the-wall air-conditioning. The beautiful windowed kitchen has been masterfully designed to maximize storage and function, with custom cabinetry and premium stone countertops and floors. This sunny centerpiece of the home has entrances off both the foyer and living room for ideal flow and comes complete with a breakfast bar, integrated desk area, utility closet, and stainless steel appliances, including a 50-bottle wine refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher. The oversized corner bedroom faces south and east and can easily accommodate a king-sized bed plus a home office, a lounging area, or work-out area. It has excellent closet space as well as through-the-wall air conditioning. The renovated, windowed bathroom features hand-made subway tiles and basketweave marble floor. Adjacent to the bathroom is a spacious linen closet as well as an additional large closet for off-season storage. This impeccably run white-glove co-operative is staffed with wonderful full-time doormen and a resident superintendent. There is a laundry room, bicycle storage, shared residents' garden, and private storage units for which there is a waiting list. Located on tree-lined 79th Street, this co-op is surrounded by the restaurants, shops, and museums the Upper East Side is known for and is convenient to the Lexington and Second Avenue subway lines as well as the crosstown bus. 179 East 79th Street allows pied-a-terre use, guarantors, co-purchases and pets with board approval. The building allows up to 75% financing, and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
