Description

Welcome to 440 East 79th Street, Apt 8C, a home that offers you spaciousness and value in an excellent cooperative! If you're looking for a junior 4 where you can create another room, you've found it. Currently the windowed alcove off the living room is used as a separate dining area, but it easily converts to a separate room that can be a bedroom, den or office. The living room is very large, over 25' long and wide as well, with lots of room for entertaining, and the master BR is huge (19' x 11') - the size of many living rooms! The kitchen offers wood cabinetry, granite counter-tops,stainless steel appliances and great storage including a large pantry. The floors are hardwood throughout, and the closet space is very good, with ample space to create more closets, if so desired. You can control your temperature all year long, as the air-conditioning units are through the wall, individual units.The building is well-managed and financially sound with a gym, roof-deck,and garage which is accessible from the building. 440 East 79th is a pet friendly co-op with 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, a gym, and large landscaped roof-deck with magnificent city and river views. It has a large central laundry room, bike room and storage room. It's in an ideal location with everything at your fingertips including easy access to both public transportation (the 4,5,6,Q subway lines and crosstown buses) as well as a taxi line at the corner that goes downtown. This super-convenient, vibrant neighborhood also has many excellent restaurants, great shopping, excellent schools, beautiful parks, a library, post-office, cafes, and wonderful markets. Co-purchasing, guarantors, and pied-a-terres are fine with Board approval.Could you ask for more?

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.
