Description

This stunning, south facing Classic Seven is full of the charm and elegance of another time. Sun-filled throughout with 10 foot ceilings and extremely quiet as it is in the back, this pre-war home has three large bedrooms and an additional staff room/office. A gracious foyer leads to three separate wings; the formal living and dining area, the service rooms and the private bedroom wing. The living and dining rooms are generous in size have custom millwork, gorgeous herringbone floors in excellent condition, a wood burning fire place and large windows. The room is sophisticated, grand and a lovely place to relax and to entertain. The wonderfully proportioned master bedroom is located at the end of a hall and has lovely southern views of the landmarked townhouses of 78th Street and beyond. The bright, second and third bedrooms are spacious and connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom. The large, windowed kitchen is perfect for entertaining, has a separate laundry area and plenty of storage including a pantry. 156 East 79th Street is a well-established pre-war co-operative located in the prime part of the Upper East Side. There is a 24-hour doorman, a wonderful staff including a resident superintendent and private storage.

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.
