Description
Renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence in one of the most coveted Upper East Side locations, this delightful home enjoys triple exposures and has all the latest updates while retaining its classic prewar charm. Upon entering residence 6B, you are met with a gracious foyer leading you through lovely French doors to the expansive living room large enough to accommodate a dining area and adorned with built-in shelving. The newly renovated windowed kitchen features high-end stainless appliances including a Subzero refrigerator, Bertazzoni range, and Miele dishwasher. Outfitted with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and sleek subway tiling, this cleverly designed space includes a built-in banquette and dining table. The primary queen-sized bedroom boasts a walk-in closet and a tastefully renovated ensuite bathroom with a stall shower and beautiful custom tile work. The second bedroom is large enough for a queen-sized bed and furniture set or would make the ideal home office or nursery. A second full bathroom with a tub is just off the hallway. Additional features include rich hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, six closets, updated electrical, and a separation of space that provides a layer of privacy throughout. Residents of 240 East 79th Street benefit from a full-time doorman, live-in super, central laundry, bike room (waitlisted), private storage for rent, and a furnished courtyard with a playground and grill. The coop allows pets, pieds-a-terre, and 75% financing.

Showings are by appointment only.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
