Description

No expense was spared in crafting this meticulously renovated and beautifully appointed 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence. Set on the 14th floor of an exceptionally well-run and gorgeous pre-war co-op, Residence 14GH has been expertly combined and completely gut renovated. A spacious entry foyer complete with crown molding, Phillip Jeffries grasscloth, and an arched entryway create an airy, welcoming feel, while a large walk-in closet provides ample storage for every day necessities. An expansive South-facing living room is bathed in sunlight all day through 4 large windows framing wide open views of the Manhattan skyline. Custom millwork, crisp white wainscoting, tray ceilings and Jacobean stained hardwood floors all blend together beautifully to create an elegant yet modern masterpiece. Thoughtful touches such as an integrated entertainment system, recessed lighting, and custom-designed bookcases and storage cabinets, help keep the home clean and organized. Whether you are a professional chef or aspiring to become one, a tastefully designed windowed kitchen features ample storage space including a carefully concealed large pantry. Polished marble counter tops, subway tiled walls and backsplash, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, Viking microwave, Miele dishwasher and a Shaws farmhouse sink create a truly luxurious cooking experience. A built-in chalkboard provides a space to leave cute notes for family and friends, plan out your next recipe, or lay out a daily schedule. Next to the kitchen, a custom designed bar was created to store all of your most essential beverages for entertaining or unwinding after a long day, including a wine fridge below, and additional bottle storage above. The king-sized primary bedroom is pin-drop quiet and features fixtures from Restoration Hardware, two large walk-in closets, recessed lighting and custom built-ins which can be used as an office area or makeup vanity. A windowed en-suite primary bathroom is clad in marble and outfitted with Grohe and Kohler fixtures, including a glass enclosed rain shower. The generously sized second bedroom is both bright and cheery. The South facing second bathroom is bathed in natural sunlight all day and has been meticulously designed to include a mixture of subway tile, marble and reclaimed wood shelving for additional storage. Situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, 308 East 79th Street was beautifully built in 1928 and has been meticulously cared for since. This white-glove cooperative offers a full-time doorman and an additional concierge 8am 11pm, a large gym, a garden, newly renovated elevators with key fob access, a live-in resident manager, a laundry room, new mail and package rooms, a bike room, and storage available for rent. 75% financing permitted.

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.
