Description

Move right into this renovated prewar 2 bedroom/2 bathroom home in the heart of the Upper East Side. This high floor residence gets lovely light throughout the day and has open city views that sparkle at night. The gracious floor plan boasts an entry foyer that leads into a large formal dining room that is perfect for entertaining or could alternatively be used as a library/den with casual dining. The windowed kitchen features Caesarstone countertops, custom hand painted (lacquered) cabinets, a glass tiled backsplash and boasts tons of storage. The living room has oversized windows with pretty city views and the second bedroom faces east and has an en suite windowed bath. The Master Bedroom also gets terrific light and has an abundance of storage and generously-sized outfitted closets. This home was thoughtfully gut renovated to raise the ceiling height to nearly 9ft and features new windows, thru-wall air conditioners and upgraded electric throughout.

Built in 1930, 229 East 79th Street is a full-service co-op with a 24hr doorman, gorgeous planted roof deck (only 1 flight up from the apartment!) and has a laundry room, basement storage and a bike room. This central location is near all mass transportation (the 4,5,6 & Q subway lines, 79th Street crosstown bus), terrific schools and many of the finest restaurants and shops the city has to offer.

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.
