Description

3L is a pristine newly renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with exceptionally low maintenance. It has an expansive living room and dining area facing east into the trees. The gracious layout features an entrance foyer, plentiful closet space and a formal dining area that is often converted to a third bedroom. With eastern exposure, this home boasts abundant natural light and sunshine, especially in the morning. There are new crown and baseboard moldings, thru-wall air conditioning, beautiful original wood floors, and built-ins beneath the windows in each of the rooms.

The kitchen was enlarged and renovated for a chef, featuring extensive marble countertops, custom cabinetry, a built-in wine cooler and high-end appliances. Both bathrooms were also recently renovated and feature floor-to-ceiling marble and stone. All the materials used in the renovations are of the highest quality. The master bedroom features an ensuite bathroom and two closets, one of which is an enlarged oversized walk-in. There is a washer/dryer within this home.

This full-service building has newly renovated hallways and lobby, permits pets and has an extremely helpful staff including a 24-hour doorman. There is a magnificent roof deck that was just completed featuring comfortable and elegant furnishings including lounging, dining and reclining. The location is central and ideal, a few blocks from the 4, 5, 6-trains and the Second Avenue Q-train. Pristine financials, management, and service have made 239 East 79th Street one of the most sought-after cooperatives on the Upper East Side. The unusually strong financial condition of this cooperative (boasting no assessments in decades and a large reserve fund), along with very stable maintenance, makes this a wise investment. Also, no flip tax.

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.
