Description

Welcome to 240 E.79th St, a meticulously well-maintained full-service boutique co-op on the Upper East Side. It offers a full-time door staff, a resident manager, a bike room, laundry room, private storage, laundry room, and a beautiful courtyard with a barbeque grill for your use. The building is very intimate, with only three apartments on the fifteenth floor, making it private and quiet.

Unit 15C has recently undergone a complete gut renovation converting the apartment to an open concept kitchen, living room and dining room. As you make your way past the gracious foyer, you are immediately struck by the inpouring of sunlight from your wall of east-facing double-pained windows. The unit is bright, open, and airy, offering unobstructed sweeping skyline views, along with the 9"-5' beamed ceilings, make it feel that much more extensive.

The stunning storage-filled open kitchen is wrapped with black mist granite countertops, handsome white shaker cabinets, and is fully equipped with stainless steel Viking and Liebherr appliances. A grandeur windowed bathroom with a view featuring a standing shower with a small bench, serenity glass doors, and chrome hardware, including a handheld shower. The primary suite offers double south and eastern exposures with two large closets, and can easily accommodate a king-size set. There is recessed lighting throughout the apartment (no more lamps), five (yes, five) large closets, an upgraded electrical panel, and beautifully finished hardwood floors.

The building permits 75% financing, pets, guarantors, and pieds-a-terre are allowed. It is situated in the perfect location on the upper east side. You can easily make your way to Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, gyms, shopping, and the great cafes & dining that the UES offers. With the subway and express or local buses just steps away, commuting is a breeze in any season.

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.
