Description

A spacious co-op saturated with natural light, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom white-box residence is a prime opportunity to custom-design a classic Upper East Side home. Features of this appx. 1,400 sq. ft. apartment include traditional sash windows, an abundance of closet space, an efficient layout, and original parquet hardwood floors.

A welcoming foyer adorned with a large coat closet flows into an expansive living and dining space. Just off the dining area is a classic galley-style kitchen with plenty of countertop space and a large pantry. The primary bedroom boasts several reach-in closets and a full en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom has a private walk-in closet and easy access to the home's second full bathroom. A linen closet and a huge walk-in storage closet complete the home. Please see virtual staged pictures!

501 East 79th Street is a Yorkville co-op with a full-time doorman, a live-in super, tremendous roof top deck, common laundry, on-site parking, and bicycle storage. The residence has extremely low maintenance that includes all utilities. There is an assessment in place until the end of December 2022 of $613.13 to reflect new elevators, lobby and facade. The building is minutes from all the restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops that line 1st and 2nd avenues, and it just steps from John Jay and Carl Schurz Parks. The Q and 6 trains are walking distance for an easy commute. Central Park is about a 15-minute walk away. Yorkville is a quiet residential enclave on the Upper East Side. Pied-a-terre are welcome. Pet friendly as well.

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.
