Description

Welcome to 177 East 79th Street, where downtown loft-style living meets the elegance of the Upper East Side. This boutique co-op offers a private, keyed elevator that opens directly into your spacious, floor-through duplex home. On the lower level, an expansive living room is bathed in natural light, thanks to a full wall of south-facing windows. The kitchen, while functional, offers exciting potential for updates and can easily be transformed into an open-concept layout. This level provides incredible flexibility in design, with ample space for a large dining area that comfortably seats 8–10 guests — ideal for entertaining. Thoughtful built-ins and shelving throughout provide abundant storage, including a generous closet tucked beneath the staircase, perfect for stowing away large suitcases or taller cleaning essentials. Toward the rear of the floor, you’ll find a bright and inviting bedroom with open northern city views. At the top of the stairs is a convenient laundry area, cleverly hidden behind a stylish barn door. The primary suite enjoys sun-drenched southern exposures and features a spacious walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom, complete with a soaking tub, a separate large stall shower, and double vanity. An additional bedroom with northern views and a well-appointed full bathroom with a tub complete the upper level. Additional highlights include through-the-wall PTAC units in every room, beautiful hardwood floors throughout, and recently replaced windows (about five years ago). The building permits 75% financing and has a 2% flip tax. Pied-à-terre ownership is allowed, and the building is pet-friendly. Amenities include a part-time doorman (Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM–3:00 PM), a live-in superintendent, and an advanced video intercom system.

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.
