156 E 79TH Street #9A

Finally, a grand Classic Eight for offer in a handsome 1915 pre-war co-operative located at the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 79th Street. This apartment defines the epitome of good bones with eight true rooms of ideally laid-out space. Ten foot ceilings, large windows framing high floor City views, a working wood burning fireplace with original mantle, beautiful original hardwood herringbone floors, French doors, and wonderful, cavernous interiors create the perfect blank slate for you to create your ideal home. Formal living and dining rooms, three proper bedrooms along a bedroom hall, a large galley kitchen and two oversized staff rooms offer limitless options. Owned by the same family for many decades, this treasure will require kitchen and bath updates, in addition to cosmetic restorative work. Please note that 9F is also for sale, which is directly across the hall. Though the two apartments may not be combined as they do not share a common wall, 9F would provide ideal additional space for the purchaser of 9A for a multitude of uses. 156 East 79th Street is an impeccably run, long established co-operative that allows 50% financing, and offers the reassurance and convenience of a 24 hour doorman, resident building manager, and personal storage in the heart of the Upper East Side. There is a special assessment of $297.79 through January 2013 and a capital assessment of $259.00 through June 2013.
