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).

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
