Property Details
Description
Unlimited Subletting after 2 Years of ownership !!!421 East 78th Street is a boutique coop that has the enviable distinction of being part of the era of the turn of the century. Its lovely brick facade is further enhanced by a small domed canopy and gracious steps leading up to a bold front door.
The building features a part-time live-in Super as well as laundry facilities, and the privacy and intimacy of only 16 units and 4 stories.
Apt 3B has been fully renovated and is imminently affordable at a cost of only 320K. Gorgeous hardwood floors grace the home throughout and an imposing deco fireplace provides a focal centerpiece to the space. Tall south facing windows emit tons of light as well as an outlook of immense greenery from a thicket of trees and bushes that frame the view. There is a dining alcove adjacent to a well-equipped full size kitchen with tiled back-splash in the country French style. The modern stainless steel oven also has a hooded vent. The all white tiled bathroom features a pedestal sink and a tub/shower. One wall in the home is made entirely of exposed brick and ceilings are a lofty 9'5" in height. There is also an ample amount of closet space.
Parents can purchase for an adult child but the board would like the occupant (child) to also be a shareholder. Pied-a-terre is allowed, but when the owner isn't present others can't be staying in the apartment. A shareholder is eligible to sublet after owning the apartment for 2 years.
421 East 78th Street is located in a quiet street near shops, restaurants and Carl Schurz Park. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a home in the neighborhood 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 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.
