Description
This beautifully renovated, sunny, and spacious one-bedroom corner apartment boasts western and southern exposures. It is located just off Park Avenue in the highly coveted Upper East Side, within an established full-service co-op on 79th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues. Upon entering, you are greeted by an elegant foyer that leads to a sprawling kitchen and dining area. This open-plan space features two large western-facing windows, a generous walk-in-pantry closet, and ample room for serious cooks, making it the perfect spot to entertain guests while preparing meals. The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, including a stainless steel Bertazzoni stove and paneled Miele refrigerator and dishwasher. The living room offers an expansive layout with room for a separate living area, home office, and dining area. The renovated bathroom, featuring a large shower and Herringbone mosaic tiles, is conveniently located outside the bedroom for easy guest access. The generously sized bedroom includes a wall-to-wall built-in closet, thoughtfully customized from floor to ceiling to maximize storage space. The apartment features new ash hardwood floors and beamed ceilings throughout, lending a decidedly pre-war feel to this 1947 building. Yet, updated windows, fixtures, kitchen, and bathroom provide sleek and clean contemporary additions. With only four apartments per floor, the building has a small boutique atmosphere, complete with a canopied entrance and a common planted and furnished garden in the rear. Amenities include a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, porters, laundry room, bike room, and fitness room. Storage is available subject to a waitlist. This non-smoking and pet-friendly building permits pied-à-terre buyers at the board's discretion. Conveniently located near world-class restaurants, boutique shops, Central Park, and museums, with public transportation nearby, this apartment epitomizes luxury living on the Upper East Side. (Water and gas are included in the maintenance fee. There is a 2% flip tax. There is a $360 monthly assessment that runs through June 2026.)

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 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.
