Description

A rare opportunity awaits at this elegant Madison Avenue residence, ideally positioned at the coveted crossroads of 79th Street.

Arriving via a semi-private landing, the home opens to a gracious 35-foot gallery adorned with barrel-vaulted ceilings and refined cove lighting-an impressive introduction to the space. Beyond, a generously proportioned living room is bathed in natural southern light and anchored by a beautiful gas fireplace.

The home's organic flow continues into a grand formal dining room, distinguished by its own unique decorative fireplace-perfect for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.

The newly renovated kitchen suite is thoughtfully designed with rich walnut cabinetry, extending seamlessly into a separate butler's pantry and an inviting breakfast room. Outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances-including two Wolf ovens, a five-burner Wolf cooktop, a Miele refrigerator, and a wine refrigerator-the space combines function with sophistication. Storage throughout the home is abundant.

This classic residence offers three spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, along with oversized new windows, soaring 10'3" ceilings, and central air conditioning for modern comfort.

Located at 39 East 79th Street, this full service building offers a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, private storage, and remarkably low maintenance charges. Pets are welcome.

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