Description

Sun flooded Classic 7 with triple exposures and open city views. Apartment 11A has 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms with large windows and excellent closet space throughout. The South facing living room leads into the North facing dining room - creating an open space that spans almost 50ft across. The kitchen can be combined with either the dining room or 4th bedroom to create a truly spacious eat-in kitchen.

The primary bedroom and adjacent bedroom both feature double exposures (S&W and N&W, respectively) with en-suite windowed bathrooms. Both bedrooms have open views as the neighboring buildings are much lower.

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a spacious 4 bedroom with 4 full bathrooms and a flexible layout.

179 East 70th street was built in 1959 on one of the most beautiful stretches of iconic 70th Street and is a highly sought after post-war building on the Upper East Side. There is a full-time doorman, gym, bike storage, and an extra storage unit in the basement is included with the apartment. The building has a 2% flip-tax paid by the seller and allows 50% financing.
