Description

Opportunity awaits at this classic 2-bedroom, 2-bath spacious home, perfectly located on 79th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues!

Enter through an oversized foyer and entry hall dividing the large living room from dining area. Perfect for entertaining, the public rooms flow seamlessly into one another and are anchored by a wall of North facing windows looking out onto the tree line of this elegant location, just blocks from Central Park. The dining area leads into a windowed kitchen which offers a blank canvas for one to create their own masterpiece and looks toward the calming rear courtyard.

Two king-sized bedrooms, both with ensuite, have tree-lined views, generous closets and wonderful light! One runs parallel to the living room and enjoys the same stately grand avenue views while the other is oriented toward the rear courtyard, offering a tranquil and serene escape!

This home features newly refinished hardwood floors, generously proportioned rooms, ample storage, three exposures and tree-lined views throughout. Apartment 2A is a rare opportunity to create a dream home in this full-service coop in the most elegant part of Manhattan within reach of esteemed cultural institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim and the Frick amongst countless other.

120 East 79th Street is a non-smoking and pet friendly building that offers amenities including a full-time doorman, canopied entrance, common garden in the rear, live-in super, resident laundry room, fitness room, bike room, and storage (subject to wait list). 2% flip tax paid by buyer.

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.
