Description

SPECIAL BUYER REBATE: $500 MAINTENANCE CONCESSION FOR 12 MONTHS!

Live in Art Deco heaven on the Upper East Side at 24O East 79th Street, Apt. 16C! Every element of this "just right" apartment sings out with style from the moment you enter it. Enjoy Prewar 1920's Details, High Floor Open City Views, Sunny Southeastern Exposures, A Perfect UES Location and a Windowed Eat-in Kitchen at a Great Price.

A lovely vestibule with hall closet leads elegantly into a spacious, perfectly proportioned living room with a ribbon of eastern facing windows with open City vistas. From this highest one bedroom vantage point, experience the magical changing light and weather with sunrises, sunsets, evening twinkling lights and sunny days. The cherry wood, chrome and granite kitchen has an eat-in dining area and an oversized sunny window suitable for banquette seating. Stainless steel appliances include a digital four burner range with griddle top, microwave and dishwasher. The corner bedroom with Southeastern exposures is enveloped in light with a magnificent view of Midtown Manhattan, Landmarked Upper East Side townhouses and greenscape. A charming black, white and green tiled Art Deco bathroom has a handsome original 1920's details.

Additional features include original brass hardware, Elfa closet, Wolf custom cabinetry and bookcases, modern solar shades, beamed ceilings, and beautiful hard wood floors. Two window air conditioning units are included in the sale and thru-the-wall air conditioning is allowed with approval.

Designed at the height of New York's jazz age by Godwin, Thompson and Patterson, 240 East 79th Street possesses one of the most beautiful colored terracotta glazed facades in all of New York City. Designated as a Landmark by The New York Landmark Preservation Commission, the building stirs the imagination as it did for former resident Candace Bushnell who famously wrote "Sex and the City" there. This boutique cooperative features a stylish, perfectly restored Art Deco lobby, full time doorman, live-in resident manager, bike room and individual storage (as available with extra fee), furnished courtyard with grill and play set, and central laundry room. Pets allowed with board approval. 75% financing, guarantors and pieds-a-terres permitted.

Located near some of the best food shopping, restaurants, cafes and boutique shopping in the heart of the Upper East Side near the Q/4/5/6 subway trains, all-directional buses and close by Fifth Avenue museums, art galleries and Central Park. An elegant and sophisticated property in a most desirable residential neighborhood.

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.
