Description

Rarely available, this gracious 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is ready for your designs for its classic bones. This layout is unique in the building with a grand entry gallery and a 500 square foot, almost square living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a planting terrace. The adjacent substantial dining room also features a planting terrace. This dining room has been divided to create another bedroom that can be paired with the third full bathroom. The windowed kitchen is light with southeast exposure and has generous dimensions. The sunny staff room adjacent to the kitchen with an en suite bath, could serve as an office or third bedroom or be opened to the kitchen to create a huge eat-in heart of this home. The primary and secondary bedrooms are located off a private hallway and feature generous proportions, double closets, and en suite bathrooms. The primary bedroom also has its own private terrace. The second bedroom has sunny open south views of the city skyline. Other features of this residence include high ceilings, grand-scale rooms, original hardwood floors, and wonderful north and south light and views. The upshot is to come see this special home brimming with vast potential! 180 East 79th Street is a highly regarded, full-service pre-war cooperative ideally located in the heart of the Upper East Side. Designed by Schwartz & Gross and erected in 1930 and then incorporated in 1966, there are 116 apartments and 3 commercial spaces. This white-glove Coop employs 22 full-time staff, 3 handymen, and a live-in superintendent to meet every need. There is a fitness room with a high-volume ventilation system, bicycle storage, and a common laundry room. The elevators have been upgraded. A large private storage cage transfers with the apartment. The Coop allows 50% financing, as well as pets and pieds-a-terre with board approval. The 2% flip tax is paid by the seller.

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.
