Description

No detail was overlooked during the meticulous renovation of this home on a picturesque Upper East Side block. This home features two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a newly renovated kitchen, and hardwood flooring throughout. As you enter 3C, the foyer leads into a beautifully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, caesarstone countertops, and a customized walk-in pantry. The Southern facing living room (21' x 11.9') is perfectly proportioned for both entertaining and relaxing. It includes built-in cabinetry, hardwood floors, and recessed lighting. A renovated secondary bathroom with a shower/tub combination clad with beautiful tile is right around the corner. The oversized master bedroom features Southern exposure, a walk-in closet, custom built-in cabinets throughout, and an en-suite master bathroom. The secondary bedroom (13.6' x 12.7') is bright and airy with Northern windows overlooking the cooperative's lovely garden. 221 East 78th Street is a sought after boutique co-op on the Upper East Side offering residents a part-time doorman, live-in super, bike room, laundry room, and a landscaped common garden. The doorman hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 12:00am and Saturday-Sunday from 3:00pm-1:00am. Storage is available for rent. The building allows pied-a-terre and co-purchasing. The cooperative just implemented significant capital improvements, including new windows, repointing, and conversion from oil to gas. There is no assessment for this apartment! 2% flip tax paid by the 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.
