Description

RENOVATION COMPLETE!

Complete gut renovation. All plumbing and electric were replaced and upgraded in the entire home. There are brand new wide-plank wood floors, new molding and doors throughout and all walls and ceilings were skim-coated. The eat-in-kitchen features brand new stainless steel appliances, shaker style cabinetry and quartz countertops. The bathrooms were completely renovated with top-of-the-line fixtures and a mixture of marble and quartz. This classic two-bedroom two-bathroom prewar home features southern, northern and eastern exposures. The gracious layout features a proper entrance foyer, a dining area and an eat-in-kitchen. Adjacent to the large dining area is the exceptionally large living room. The living room has treetop views onto 79th Street. Both bedrooms are nearly equal in size and are filled with light.

240 East 79th is an elegant prewar cooperative built in 1929. Truly an Art Deco masterpiece, this intimate building has only four units per floor, 63 units in total and a full-time doorman. The location is central and ideal, a few blocks from the 4, 5, 6-trains and the new Second Avenue Q-train. In addition, within a few blocks you will find some of the best restaurants and shops on the Upper East Side. Building amenities include private storage, bike room, laundry room and a finished courtyard with a children's play area and BBQ. Pristine financials, management, and service have made 240 East 79th Street one of the finest cooperatives in the neighborhood.
