This living room has large dimensions and easily accommodates an entertaining space and separate dining area. The bathroom has also been renovated with marble, and has excellent storage in it's three-panel medicine cabinet and large vanity. There's much room to spare in the expansive master bedroom with his and her closets, and the exposure in all the rooms is lovely with great light and treetop views. 440 East 79th is a well-managed, pet friendly co-op with a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, a great gym, and landscaped roof-deck with beautiful views.

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.
