Description

Penthouse 15E at 135 East 79th Street offers a level of classic scale and proportion that harkens back to the great apartments of the Upper East Side of old, with all the luxuries and conveniences of a modern condo building. The expansive five bedroom duplex is filled with light, rich in city views from every room, with two private terraces totaling 467 SQFT, in addition to the 5,188 SQFT of interior space. Upon exiting the elevator, there are private vestibules on both floors to allow not just for additional privacy and security, but a true feeling of returning home. The entry foyer features a curved staircase and impressive double-height ceilings, which make a statement immediately upon entering the residence. Thoughtfully designed throughout by Studio Sofield, with custom kitchens by Christopher Peacock, PH15E also features solid oak floors, gorgeous oversized windows, a truly grand living room. formal dining room, marble-appointed bathrooms off of every bedroom, a dressing area/sitting room off the primary bedroom, proper laundry room, and much more. 135 East 79th Street is the result of a masterful collaboration between The Brodsky Organization and Studio Sofield, completed in 2013. The building pays homage to the formidable feel associated with the classic architecturally significant buildings of Upper East Side from the early 20th century - with the ease of ownership and upkeep present in a newly built condominium. The building prizes privacy, security, and white-glove service with doormen, a concierge, and a resident manager available for whatever owners need. The building also has stunningly finished amenities, including a state-of-the-art gym, a resident’s lounge with a separate catering kitchen, a family club/game room, and a private courtyard garden. *This apartment includes a private storage space that transfers with the purchase.

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.
