Description
This is a must see, move-in ready convertible three bedroom home in the heart of the Upper East Side! Residence 12EF at 215 East 79th Street is a thoughtfully combined two-bedroom, two-bath home with real scale, great light, and zero cookie-cutter feel.
Anchored by oversized windows and triple exposures that flood the space with natural light, the home opens into an expansive sunken living room that is warm, inviting, and undeniably cool. This architectural detail adds old-world character and a sense of grandeur rarely found today. The dining area, which can easily be converted to a third bedroom, flows seamlessly from the living space, and the windowed kitchen offers ample room for everyday cooking.
The primary suite is a true retreat, impressive in both scale and versatility, featuring a separate windowed home office, sitting area, additional flexible workspace, vanity/dressing area, and a walk-in closet that rivals those found in suburban homes. The second bedroom is well-proportioned, with a full bath conveniently located in the hall just outside.
Set on a high-floor, this corner apartment is filled with natural light throughout the day, with an impressive number of oversized windows. Exceptional closet space is a true highlight of the home, complemented by hardwood floors and a layout that balances open living with a sense of separation and privacy. Washer/dryer is permitted with board approval.
215 East 79th Street is a well-maintained, full-service building with a friendly, attentive staff, including full-time doormen and a live-in resident manager. Amenities include private storage (waitlist), bicycle room, central laundry, and a newly renovated landscaped roof deck. The building is pet-friendly, permits 75% financing, allows pied-à-terre purchases, and carries a 1.5% flip tax paid by the buyer.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of the Upper East Side, moments from Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, the FDR, top-tier dining, shopping, grocery stores, museums and transportation, this is classic elegance with everyday convenience.
