Description
Meticulously gut-renovated by the current owner, this mint 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom boasts a loft-like layout, in-unit washer/dryer, private terrace, and a separate, ground-floor staff room/home office with a full bathroom. The formal entryway with two generous closets leads you to the bright and gracious open-concept north-facing great room, off of which is a private terrace. The chef's kitchen is open to the dining area and features a porcelain island with bar seating for informal dining, Dacor appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large walk-in pantry with a Whirlpool HybridCare washer/dryer. The primary bedroom is adjacent to the living room and also features open northern exposure over double-wide 79th Street. An enormous custom walk-in closet leads to the marble ensuite bathroom with a glass-encased shower, double sink vanity, heated floors, and excellent storage. At the opposite end of the apartment are two additional bedrooms with large closets that share a full bathroom with a tub. A powder room, additional storage closet hallway, new oak herringbone floors, central AC, overhead lighting in every room, and a plethora of custom closets complete this fabulous home. Built in 1947, 120 East 79th Street is a full-service co-op with a full-time doorman, live-in super, common garden, fitness room, bike room, laundry room, and additional storage (there is currently a waitlist).

Maintenance for the ground floor staff room: $466.46/month. Monthly assessment of $1,220 (including staff room) beginning April 1, 2024 for 18 months for Local Law 11.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
