Description

Palatial-sized rooms and bright sunny skies with cityscape views from the south, east and north makes this elegant classic six a stand out!

The location is choice, the premiere pre-war building is classic, and the apartment itself is in beautiful condition. Lots to love here - including ceilings that soar to almost 10', a wood-burning fireplace in the dramatic sunken living room, and room after room with unusually generous dimensions.

The flexible floorplan allows the original formal dining room to be used as an impressive corner third bedroom with its own full bath. The apartment is set up this way now. However, this room would also be a perfect library/den or utilized as a FDR, as originally intended. The current owners use the generous foyer/gallery space as their dining area. The staff room also has a full bath (making four in all.) This room could also serve as an office, additional bedroom, or be combined with the kitchen. Even now, the kitchen is sizable and has an extended pantry attached. Basically, the apartment is enormous and offers great flexibility in how its rooms are utilized.

Expansive casement windows, quality built-ins throughout, through-wall A/C, and a ridiculous amount of closet space (four in the master bedroom alone!) are additional plusses.

180 East 79th Street is a top-of-the-line pre-war co-op with an impeccable staff. Built in 1929, it has been modernized with new windows and fitness center. There is a newly renovated laundry room, bicycle storage. A private storage bin on the first floor conveys with apartment 17B. Washer dryers in the individual apartments, pied-a-terre use and pets are all permitted with board approval.

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.
