Description

Large and Sun filled One Bedroom with extra-large living room / dining room area. 201 East 79th was built using plaster and concrete so the walls are thick, meaning quiet, the rooms are large, and this floor has high ceilings. The kitchen and bathroom need some updating but the layout and condition of the apartment are terrific. HVAC is through the wall. The building enjoys full-time doormen and porters, a live -in building manager, a garage, storage, bike storage, and a private garden. In the past 5 years the elevators have been replaced, the HVAC was upgraded, laundry room renovated, and the garden was replanted. In the next few years the building will be completely renovated with a new roof, new windscreen and waterproof membrane, throrough renovation of the facade and brickwork. The project will be funded with a three step maintenance increase over three years. There is a valet for package reception, street level back entrance for strollers, wheelchairs etc., and all deliveries are escorted to your door. Pets are welcome and Pied a Terre's allowed (both with board approval). There is a 2% flip tax. Location could not be better as you are three blocks from the 6 and Q trains, buses in all directions, great restaurants, food purveyors and shopping at your fingertips. Spectrum and FIOS are available.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
