180 E 79TH Street #10E

This superb, high floor, approximately 2400 square foot E-line apartment is available for the first time in many years in a wonderful prewar co-op building. All the classic original details and finishes remain intact. Enter from a semi-private elevator landing into a huge foyer that extends across the width of the spectacularly wide step-down living room with a wood burning fireplace and large picture windows. It is flanked on the east by an almost equally large formal dining room and on the west by the bedroom wing. Off the entry foyer is an eat-in kitchen and a very spacious staff room, home office or third bedroom with a full bath. The oversized primary bedroom has large windows, enormous walk-in closets and a large bath. The second bedroom also has picture windows, a huge walk-in closet and private bath. The ceilings are very high throughout and each room is grandly scaled. The windows have been replaced and washers and dryers are now allowed in apartments. 180 East 79th Street is a premiere Art Deco building, constructed in 1929 and converted to a co-op in 1967. It features a limestone and brick faade and an elegant lobby. The building offers its residents a full array of services by an attentive 22-person staff, including 24-hour doormen and hall attendants, porters and a live-in resident manager. Amenities include a large common laundry room and fitness center, both recently equipped with a new high-volume ventilation/exhaust system that completely changes the air once every 15 minutes, bicycle storage rooms and large storage cages. The coop is both pet and pied-a-terre friendly. The building recently completed Local Law 11 work and replaced all three passenger elevators (all fully funded). This very special building is conveniently located between Lexington and Third Avenues, steps from every possible amenity.
