Description

Just Listed! First open house by appointment only this Saturday 9/17 and Sunday 9/18 from 10:30AM - 12:00PM. Contact me to schedule your appointment to view. Welcome to 14B, an impeccably designed prewar one bedroom home. Recently gut renovated for the truly discerning buyer, this sophisticated residence offers the perfect combination of classical and contemporary design. As the largest one bedroom line in the building, this presents a unique opportunity to purchase a spacious and move-in ready unit in the heart of the Upper East Side. An inviting entrance foyer opens into a gracious living room featuring quiet and bright northern exposures from this high floor residence. Prewar details abound including high beamed ceilings, custom 6.5' baseboards, and beautiful solid oak hardwood floors with soundproof subflooring. Adjacent to the living room you will discover the reconfigured dining area which was thoughtfully opened up during the renovation to maximize functionality and space. A walk-in pantry closet was also added for additional storage. Flowing seamlessly into the dining area, the designer windowed kitchen is beautifully appointed with carrera marble countertops, Anne Sacks tile backsplash, shaker style cabinetry, brushed brass hardware and pulls by Omnia, and a suite of premium appliances including a Liebherr refrigerator, Bertazzoni induction range with hood, and paneled Bosch dishwasher. The primary bedroom offers generous scale and proportion, featuring a king sized bed and a large double door closet outfitted by the Elfa Closet System. A windowed bathroom boasting radiant heated floors, a custom built shaker-style floating vanity, recessed Robern medicine cabinet, and Grohe fixtures including a rain showerhead completes this space. Other distinguishing features of this no expense spared renovation include new plumbing and electric wiring, slim fit radiators enclosed in custom built-ins, new thru the wall AC in the living room, double thick doors, hinges, and hardware, and custom Levelor window shades. 308 East 79th Street is a full service co-op that offers a 24 hour doorman, concierge, porters, live-in super, fitness center, bike room, storage, and a beautifully furnished outdoor garden on the lobby level. Supremely located within walking distance to fine restaurants, gourmet shops, parks, Museum Mile, and multiple transportation options. Co-purchasing, gifting, pied-a-terres, and subletting are permitted along with pets under 25 pounds.

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.
