Seize this rare opportunity to own a generous-size two bedroom in a sought-after prewar Upper East Side co-op building! Make a grand entrance into this corner apartment with ample room for entertaining and dining. The gorgeous gallery entryway leads to a huge sunken living room with 9'6" beamed ceilings, rich wood floors, oversized windows, custom millwork and built-in shelves. The wood-burning fireplace and dining area are superb settings for relaxing and entertaining. The adjacent windowed eat-in kitchen is recently renovated and thoughtfully designed with plentiful custom cabinetry (many with glass door fronts), extensive Calcutta Gold marble countertops, a tiled backsplash, Viking stove/oven and dishwasher, and newly tiled flooring. The living quarters include two large bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. One can easily convert one of the bedrooms for use as an office or entertainment room. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, and its many windows provide dramatic southern and western views of Midtown Manhattan including the Time Warner Center. Tremendous light pours into each room, from the kitchen, to the living room, to the bedrooms throughout the day - filling the apartment with sunshine and offering views of stunning sunsets. Other amenities like a top-of-the-line washer/dryer installed in a huge walk-in closet, and your own private storage cage make this apartment a true gem in a prewar building! A number of other recent improvements have also been made throughout, such as freshly painted rooms, polished flooring, and new carpeting. The apartment has a semi-private entrance, and the building boasts top-tier doormen and service employees catering to all your needs - from private mail and package delivery to taxi service and odds and ends. This home was re-listed in Fall 2018 after a prior contract did not close. Built in 1929 and converted to co-op in 1967, the handsome 180 East 79th Street is a prestigious white glove luxury residence on a tree-lined Upper East Side block between Lexington and Third Avenues. The building has 24-hour doorman service, elevator attendants, a newly-renovated gym, laundry facility, bike room and private storage. The excellent address is near world-class dining, shopping, museums, transportation, wonderful Central Park and with world-class education nearby. Pets and pied-a-terres allowed. Up to 50% financing permitted. There is currently an assessment of $382.27/mo in place that runs until June, 2019.
