Description

Apartment 16G is a generously proportioned one-bedroom residence, offering both a full bathroom and a convenient powder room off the foyer. There are open and protected eastern views from all rooms. Originally a four-room with a formal dining room, the walls have been opened to feature a large 30' living/dining space. The oversized kitchen with two windows features SubZero and Viking appliances, custom cabinetry and granite counters. The bathrooms, although not as recently renovated as the kitchen, are in excellent condition with marble finishes and high-quality fixtures. The spacious corner bedroom features an ensuite bathroom and three sizable closets. There is thru-wall air conditioning in the living room and bedroom and washer/dryer within.

239 East 79th Street is a full-service building with newly renovated hallways and lobby. Pets are permitted and there is an extremely helpful staff including a 24-hour doorman. There is a magnificent roof deck that was just completed featuring comfortable and elegant furnishings including lounging, dining and reclining. The location is central and ideal, a few blocks from the 4, 5, 6-trains and the new Second Avenue Q-train. Pristine financials, management, and service have made 239 East 79th Street one of the most sought-after cooperatives on the Upper East Side. The unusually strong financial condition of this cooperative with a large reserve fund and very stable maintenance, makes this a wise investment. No flip tax.
