Description

An elegant Upper East Side co-op graced with an array of high-end fixtures and finishes, this gut-renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is an exemplar of contemporary city living. It has a profusion of closet space?exceedingly rare for prewar co-ops?and is situated on a prime neighborhood stretch.

Features include gorgeous hardwood floors, 9-ft beamed ceilings, large windows with northern and southern exposure, a convenient in-unit washer/dryer, built-in cameras, and a state-of-the-art home automation system from Control4.

Beyond a tasteful foyer adorned with a huge coat closet, the home flows into an expansive, open-concept living and dining room saturated with natural light. Across from the dining area is an immaculate galley-style kitchen equipped with sleek white countertops, a matching backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances.

Both bedrooms enjoy a comfortable level of privacy thanks to a thoughtful split-wing layout. The spacious master bedroom possesses a trio of reach-in closets, a cavernous walk-in closet, and a windowed en-suite bathroom with herringbone tiled floors, double vanity sinks, and a marble walk-in shower. The second bedroom sits at the end of its own hallway and has ample closet space as well as easy access to a windowed full bathroom with a tub.

225 East 79th is a prewar co-op nestled in the heart of the Upper East Side. The building has a 24-hour doorman, a bicycle room, and a live-in super. It is just a few blocks away from Central Park, The Met, and the East River, and it is surrounded by a diverse collection of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. The 6 subway line is only two minutes away. Pets and pieds-a-terre are welcome.

*Light fixtures are not included but are negotiable.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
