Description
Perfectly positioned on 79th Street with every convenience moments away- housed in an impeccably run full-service building, this newly and beautifully renovated mint-condition home, is west facing, sun-flooded and blissfully quiet thanks to double insulated windows, and was ingeniously designed for comfortable living and entertaining for today's lifestyle.
You arrive at the most welcoming "great room"- an epically proportioned space with the breathing room you crave for casual and comfortable enjoyment. The living room, formal dining, kitchen and gallery have been opened and combined to create a virtually suburban mansion-sized living space.
The chef's kitchen features top of the line stainless steel appliances, acres of marble counters, endless storage for every cooking and serving implement and is ideally open to the action so that the home chef is involved and connected to their guests. With formal designated dining, and a beautifully built marble topped island with more storage- for casual dining- and a lounge area to welcome large parties or host quiet evenings at home- the possibilities are endless.
The bedroom hall separates public from private living and features two sizable bedrooms- the master with a spa-inspired en-suite marble bathroom and mosaic tiled bathroom with oversized, step-in shower and deep, walk-in custom closets. The second bedroom features handsome custom millwork and custom closets. The guest bathroom features a deep bathtub, marble and stone vanity, and sparkling new fixtures.
This welcoming, happy home features solid hardwood, herringbone patterned floors, custom overhead lighting, through-wall climate controlled heat and air-conditioning for year round comfort, abundant, walk-in wardrobe, pantry and linen storage, designed in a classic, timeless, neutral palate and aesthetic.
501 East 79th Street offers amenities such as a full-time doorman, resident superintendent, automatic doors for ease of access, a roof deck currently under construction, central laundry room, is in discussions for resident storage and bike room.
Minutes to Carl Schurz Promenade - multiple dog parks and playgrounds, close proximity to the 4, 5, 6, Q subway lines and the cross-town bus, John Jay Park with pools and playgrounds around the corner, top public and private schools and limitless shopping, dining, and retail options.
Please note, there is an assessment of $510/month until the end of 2022 which covers the facade project, lobby renovation and elevator upgrade/renovation. All projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2020.
