Description

Apartment 6B is a stunning prewar classic six-room (2 bedrooms, 3 baths) residence that exudes timeless elegance and charm. Located on a high floor, this sunlit home offers city views through its expansive south-facing windows overlooking 79th Street. The apartment is a masterpiece of preserved old-world details, featuring soaring 9-1/2' beamed ceilings adorned with cove and crown moldings, a decorative fireplace, and exquisite hardwood floors.

The layout is graciously designed for both comfort and sophistication, boasting a generous 23' living room perfect for relaxation and entertainment. The formal dining room is equally impressive, providing ample space for large gatherings and seamless access to the foyer, kitchen, and bedroom wing.

The eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances including a Samsung gas range, LG microwave, KitchenAid dishwasher, and Fisher & Paykel refrigerator. Thoughtfully designed, the kitchen accommodates banquette seating for 6 and offers substantial pantry storage. A unique feature of this home is the original staff room, now transformed into a windowed laundry room complete with a full-size washer and dryer, floor-to-ceiling shelving, and a convenient third bath.

The apartment's traditional prewar appeal is further enhanced by the separation of the bedrooms from the formal living spaces. The primary bedroom is a bright and spacious sanctuary, boasting abundant natural light, two double deep closets, and an en-suite bath with a deep soaking tub. The second bedroom is equally inviting, offering southern views, four deep closets, and a beautifully renovated adjacent full bathroom.

Storage is plentiful throughout the apartment, including bountiful closet space in the resident hallway. This home is a rare find, combining classic elegance with modern conveniences in a coveted location. Experience the grandeur and comfort of prewar living in Apartment 6B, where every detail has been meticulously preserved and enhanced for your enjoyment.

Built in 1928 by famed architects Schwartz and Gross, 175 East 79th Street is situated in a vibrant neighborhood, offering close proximity to Central Park, cultural landmarks, fine dining, shopping and transportation. An ideal location for those seeking the quintessential New York City experience.

The building offers fulltime doorman, live-in resident manager, laundry room, storage and bicycle storage. Pied-a-terres, guarantors and pets are permitted. Financing up to 70% and no flip tax.

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.
