Description

Create Your Dream Home on Madison Avenue! This sprawling sun-flooded classic six apartment presents a perfect opportunity to create the masterpiece you have been dreaming about at a remarkably attractive price in the well-run coop located among the prestigious white-glove buildings on the Upper East Side on the corner of Madison Avenue and 79th Street, just one block from Central Park.

Spacious classic six residence at approximately 2,000 sqft provides perfect space for both living and entertaining. A welcoming entrance gallery with two large walk-in closets leads into the generous 25-foot long living room. On the south side of the gallery, you will find a formal dining room with bright south-facing exposures. The apartment features an ideal separate bedroom wing layout with a private bedroom hallway allowing a seamless flow between public and private quarters. The corner master bedroom boasts two walk-in closets and a windowed bathroom. The secondary bedroom is equally spacious and sun-filled throughout the day. The apartment also features a windowed kitchen with a butler's pantry. The third bedroom with an en-suite full bath is located off the kitchen.

Located just one block from Central Park and Museum Mile, 50 East 79th Street is one of the Upper East Side's premier full-service buildings. World-class museums, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, top NYC schools, and luxury boutiques are all within a few blocks. Amenities include 24-hour doorman and elevator attendant, on-site resident manager, discounted on-site garage, private storage, bike facilities, and a fully-equipped gym. Pied-a-terre is welcome. Regretfully, dogs are not permitted. Assessment for the on-going exterior limestone facade work has been fully paid by the seller. Please note showings are not allowed on weekends.

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.
