Description

Apartment 7J is a renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with an exceptionally low maintenance of $1,621 per month. It has an expansive living and dining space, a 16-foot wall of windows and an open eastern view with glorious morning sunlight. The gracious layout features an entrance foyer, plentiful closet space and a formal dining area that is often converted to a third bedroom. 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 renovated from top to bottom with granite countertops, custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms were also renovated and feature fixtures and finishes of the highest quality. The master bedroom features an ensuite bathroom and two closets. There is a washer/dryer within this home.

This full-service cooperative 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 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.
