Just Listed! First Open House by appointment only this Saturday 4/22 from 10:30 - 11:30AM and Sunday 4/23 from 10:30AM - 12:00PM. Contact me to schedule your appointment to view. Welcome to Residence 15G, a large-scale one bedroom home featuring massive room proportions, bright and quiet eastern exposures with city views, and a low monthly maintenance which includes all utilities including electric and gas. A proper foyer with a large entry closet welcomes you into an oversized living room flooded with stunning natural light. Three windows line the eastern-facing wall showcasing quiet and open city views. The extra wide living room not only provides ample space for living and dining areas but also offers tremendous versatility with the possibility of adding a windowed home office or nursery ? see alternate floor plan illustrating this configuration. The kitchen features generous counter space and storage, white cabinetry, under cabinet lighting, a Subzero refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher. With board approval, one can open the kitchen into the living room to create an open concept layout if desired. The king-sized bedroom is a pin-drop quiet retreat flooded with light and open city views. There is no shortage of storage with a massive double closet and an additional closet by the window. Right outside the bedroom you will find a deep linen closet and a roomy bathroom with a tub. Other notable features of this spacious home include recently sanded and stained floors and brand new heating/cooling units. 501 East 79th Street benefits from its long term retail tenant at the base of the building, resulting in exceptionally strong co-op financials, low maintenance including utilities, and no flip tax. The building has recently undergone a restoration of the entire facade as well as renovations of its lobby, hallways, elevators, and roof deck, all fully funded and paid for. This full service pet friendly co-op offers a 24 hour doorman, live-in super, bike room, and beautifully furnished roof deck. Built as a co-op in 1959, this building has been designed for shareholders resulting in thoughtful and spacious layouts. Residents enjoy close proximity to Carl Schurz Park, John Jay Park and the East River Promenade, as well as some of the best shopping and gourmet markets and restaurants the Upper East Side has to offer. This location offers easy access to the FDR, crosstown bus, and Second Avenue subway which conveniently has an entrance on 83rd Street. Gifting, guarantors, pied-a-terres, and parents purchasing for and with children permitted with board approval.

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.
