Description

Lowest Maintenance of $920

The gracious layout of 3M features a proper entrance foyer, a formal dining area and a generous amount of closet space. The original solid wood parquet floors are in excellent condition. The extra-large living room measuring almost 13' by 25 is adjacent to a windowed dining area and can easily accommodate a large entertaining space and office. The kitchen has been updated and the bathroom is in good original condition. This is a quiet west facing home with thru-wall air-conditioning in all of the rooms. Washer/dryer permitted with board approval.

239 East 79th Street is a full-service building with newly renovated hallways and lobby. Pets are permitted and there is an extremely helpful staff including a 24-hour doorman. There is a magnificent roof deck that was just completed featuring comfortable and elegant furnishings including lounging, dining and reclining. The location is central and ideal, a few blocks from the 4, 5, 6-trains and the new Second Avenue Q-train. Pristine financials, management, and service have made 239 East 79th Street one of the most sought-after cooperatives on the Upper East Side. The unusually strong financial condition of this cooperative (boasting no assessments in decades and a large reserve fund), along with very stable maintenance, makes this a wise investment. No flip tax.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
