Description
This light-filled 10-room apartment has a generous size and scale rarely found in city living. Space is flexible, since each apartment in this full-service pre-war building on the NW corner of 79th Street and Lexington Avenue occupies an entire floor.
The private elevator landing leads to a large gallery, which opens onto a spacious living room and a charming library. The apartment has northern, eastern, and southern exposures and receives excellent natural light throughout the day. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and large east-facing windows. The well-proportioned dining room may be accessed through the living room, or by a large pantry which connects to an eat-in kitchen. The entrance rooms are perfect for dinners, concerts, or gatherings of more than fifty people.
The principal bedroom has south-facing windows, 2 large closets, and an en-suite bathroom. A second corner bedroom has windows facing east and south, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. A third bedroom shares its bathroom with the library - which could be converted into an additional bedroom if needed. The apartment also has a home office and 2 staff rooms with a shared bathroom.
This is an exciting opportunity to own an expansive apartment that affords both privacy and centrality in the heart of the Upper East Side.

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.
