Description

Opportunity awaits to re-imagine this spacious light-filled two-bedroom co-op estate, with open living and dining rooms, located on the 12th floor north and west facing corner at 79th Street and Madison Avenue. From the gracious entrance foyer, with its three generous closets, one is immediately drawn to the spectacular open views of Central Park and the iconic buildings of Central Park West from the three oversize windows. The open layout of the two large entertaining spaces provides a dramatic setting maximizing light within the apartment and for spectacular sunsets outside. There is a conveniently located windowed kitchen adjacent to the dining room and entrance foyer. The large primary bedroom suite includes two ample closets plus a dressing area and bathroom. The second bedroom is now used as a paneled library/office and has easy access to a second bathroom/powder room conveniently located in the bedroom hall. The building's facade and lobby have recently been refurbished and the gym has been enlarged and updated. Shareholders have use of a laundry and there is a storage room which comes with the apartment. There is currently a wait list for a parking space in the building's garage. There is a flip tax of 2% payable by buyer and the cooperative allows 65% financing. Pets allowed (1 dog only). This well-regarded cooperative's superb location at Madison and 79th affords residents nearby fine restaurants, museums, and great shopping as well as transport both by bus or subway in all directions. Moreover, New York's "jewel in the crown", Central Park, is only one block away.

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.
