Description
Apartment 12H – Renovated Alcove Studio with Open Island Kitchen, Custom Closets & Expansive Skyline Views Perched high above the Upper East Side in a full-service cooperative, this beautifully renovated alcove studio offers a bright, open layout enhanced by oversized windows and sweeping, unobstructed city views. The home captures a stunning Manhattan skyline backdrop, filling the space with remarkable natural light throughout the day. The open-concept kitchen is both stylish and efficient, featuring granite countertops, custom-built cabinetry, and premium stainless-steel appliances including a Bertazzoni stove and KitchenAid refrigerator. A well-proportioned island anchors the space, creating the perfect setting for casual dining, entertaining, or working from home. Thoughtful architectural touches—such as crown moldings throughout the apartment—add elegance and dimension to the space, while the hardwood floors bring warmth and continuity across the thoughtfully designed layout. The sleeping alcove is cleverly positioned to feel like its own defined space while still benefiting from natural light and open views. Custom-built closets provide excellent storage without compromising the clean aesthetic. The spa-inspired marble bathroom features a standing shower equipped with spa-style jets, creating a true wellness experience at home. Laundry is conveniently located in the building’s basement. 440 East 79th Street is a full-service cooperative with 24-hour doorman, a rooftop deck showcasing panoramic city views, an on-site gym, garage, and bike room. Located on a peaceful, residential block, the building sits moments from the Q and 6 subway lines, major bus routes, gourmet markets, neighborhood dining, and the Upper East Side’s most coveted cafés, boutiques, and everyday conveniences. Cats and dogs allowed. Guarantors, co-purchasers, or pied-à-terre allowed case by case basis.

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.
