Description

Welcome to Apartment 7IJ, the very definition of turn-key living. Spanning approximately 1,400 square feet with a split-bedroom layout, this thoughtfully combined residence is one of the only true two-bedroom homes on the south side of the building. Since the building was not originally constructed with two-bedroom apartments on the building’s southern side, such layouts only exist through rare combinations like this one. Set at the back of the property, the apartment is filled with natural light and enjoys a rare sense of peace and quiet. A wide entry foyer sets the tone and leads into a beautifully renovated space. The kitchen is outfitted with custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and full-size appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, while the adjacent dining area and living room flow seamlessly to create an inviting space for both entertaining and everyday living. Pristine hardwood floors, custom crown and wall moldings, ‘country-style’ window shutters, built-in storage beneath the windows, and through-the-wall air conditioning in every room further elevate the home. The first wing of the apartment offers generous closet storage, a sizable bedroom, and a newly renovated marble bathroom with recessed lighting and all-new plumbing. On the opposite side, the primary suite is truly exceptional, spanning approximately 500 square feet with three walk-in closets, a spa-like bathroom twice the size of any other in the building, and a bedroom large enough to comfortably accommodate children while still leaving ample space for play and study.Apartment 7IJ represents a rare combination of thoughtful upgrades and expansive proportions, an ideal opportunity for buyers seeking both functionality and style.

440 East 79th Street is a desirable Upper East Side co-op building located on 79th Street between 1st Avenue and York Avenue. The building offers a warm and friendly environment with one of the most attentive doormen and building staff in the area and live in superintendent. The building’s amenities include the newly reimagined and renovated rooftop deck and garden which is surely one of the premier decks on the upper east side, updated gym (located in basement), newly renovated basement, attached building garage, full-size laundry room and common storage. Pet friendly, financially sound co-op with stable maintenance (only 3% increase for 2025). Short walk away from Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, Agata & Valentina, and NYC’s best restaurants. Building allows pied-a-terre, co-purchasing, and gifting. No Flip Tax in this financially sound co-op.

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.
