Description

With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and being on the 2nd floor, this spacious "move-in ready" home is "2" fabulous. The gracious layout, generously proportioned rooms, and architectural details are suggestive of neighboring prewar grandeur. A proper entrance foyer with coat closet provides a true sense of arrival. The living room features beamed ceilings with crown mouldings, decorative fireplace, bookshelves, and two elegant arched niches. For everyday meals or formal entertaining, there is a separate dining area. Both bedrooms have ensuite baths and abundant storage with the addition of custom built-ins. The windowed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and classic cabinetry... there is even separate wine storage. To add to the comfort, there is central A/C in the living room and primary bedroom. With this many "2's", #2C is definitely a "10". With its distinctive canopied entrance and elegant front door, 120 East 79th Street is truly a full-service cooperative. In addition to the numerous services and amenities include a full-time doorman, resident manager, central laundry room, fitness room, bike room, and storage (subject to availability). The prime location between Park and Lexington Avenues enhances the desirability of this established 1947 building. Pied-a-terre ownership and pets are permitted. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer.
