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.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
