Description

Apt 12A is a large, classic 6 front apartment in a highly respected UES pre-war co-op. The apartment enjoys spacious, high floor city views over wide crosstown 79th st and is awash in sunlight . The south-facing large living room, master and 2nd bedrooms enjoy light and sun throughout the day. At appx 1600 sq ft, the generous layout includes a welcoming foyer opening onto a large formal dining room and over-sized, beautifully proportioned living room. These connected rooms, with ceilings in excess of 9'-3" and iconic fireplace, are ideal for entertaining. There is a large kitchen and maid's room/office with an adjoining bathroom. Two spacious, bright bedrooms and two full-sized baths. As shown in the alternate floor plan, this over-sized classic 6 is very adaptable, and can be transformed easily into a 3 bedroom apartment by converting part of the large formal dining room into a bedroom. The building service includes a full time doorman, service staff and a live-in superintendent. Guarantors have been permitted on a case-by-case basis. The building is pet-friendly, subject to board permission, allows 70% financing, and has no flip tax. 175 East 79th allows pied a terre, is in the PS6 school district, and is supremely convenient to all amenities of the Upper East Side including Central Park, schools, museums, restaurants, shopping and public transportation to all parts of New York City.

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.
