Description

Classic Pre-War Two-Bedroom with Wood-Burning Fireplace on a Prime Upper East Side Block! A well-balanced layout defines Residence 12T, with distinct living, dining, and bedroom spaces that feel both open and well-proportioned. An entry foyer leads into a spacious living room and separate dining area, creating a layout that is both functional and easy to live in. High beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors, decorative moldings, and a wood-burning fireplace bring warmth and character to the space. The primary bedroom is quietly tucked away, comfortably accommodating a king-size bed with nightstands, a dressing area and multiple closets for excellent storage. A subtle alcove adds flexibility, creating a natural area for a desk, vanity, or additional storage. The second bedroom is currently set up as a nursery and works equally well as a guest room or home office. The kitchen is efficiently laid out with good storage and separation from the main living areas. A thoughtfully renovated bathroom maintains classic New York charm while incorporating modern finishes. In-unit washer and dryers are permitted with board approval. 205 East 78th Street is a well-regarded, full-service cooperative with a full-time doorman, resident manager, and dedicated staff. The building is pet-friendly and permits pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors, and gifting. Amenities include a central laundry room, bike storage, and private storage, subject to availability. Set on a tree-lined block just off Third Avenue, the location offers easy access to neighborhood dining, shopping, Central Park, the 6 and Q subway lines and the 79th Street crosstown bus. A classic Upper East Side home with enduring character and a layout that simply makes sense.

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.
