About This Home
JUST LISTED! Move right into this stunning, sun-drenched classic 6-into-5-room home in gorgeous condition perched high atop a boutique full-service prewar cooperative in the heart of the Upper East Side. Just renovated and never lived in since, Residence 12B at 175 East 79th Street is a fabulous blend of prewar scale and crisp modern upgrades, offering a glorious south-facing living room, a grand formal dining room, a renovated windowed eat-in kitchen with a breakfast room and two generous bedrooms soaked in southern sunlight, with a wonderfully gracious layout masterfully designed for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining.
Enter into a sunlit gallery that flows seamlessly into a sprawling living room enjoying glorious southern sun through a wall of brand new windows overlooking East 79th Street. A handsome wood-burning fireplace anchors the room while high beamed ceilings deliver classic prewar character, enhanced by a wall of brand new custom built-ins and newly refinished hardwood floors which run throughout the entire home. Also off the entry gallery is the formal dining room, perfectly outfitted for memorable evenings big or small, with sophisticated new custom cabinetry and storage for your dinnerware and proportions that suit everything from holiday hosting to an intimate dinner at home.
The renovated windowed eat-in kitchen will delight the serious chef and amateur cook alike. There are new marble countertops, all new chrome hardware, an oversized deep farm sink as well as a suite of all stainless steel appliances including a brand new Subzero French door-style refrigerator with double freezer drawer with ice maker, a brand new Bosch five-burner range/oven with a vented hood and a full-sized Bosch dishwasher. Just off of the kitchen, there is a separate breakfast room as well as a marble wet bar with a GE Profile subcounter wine refrigerator with capacity for up to 29 bottles.
The bedrooms sit peacefully apart from the entertaining wing. At the end of the corridor, the king-sized primary suite faces south and welcomes warm sunlight all day. The newly renovated en-suite windowed primary bathroom is dressed in marble and white subway tile and features radiant heat flooring, a glass-enclosed stall shower, an oversized vanity and a dedicated linen closet with a built-in hamper. The second bedroom shares the same brilliant southern exposure as the primary suite and the living room, and both bedrooms are wired for cable and feature excellent closets customized with ecofriendly non-toxic wood. A second windowed bathroom with a stall shower sits just off of the bedroom corridor, serving the second bedroom and guests.
Additional luxuries and upgrades include remote-enabled dimmable lighting throughout, HVAC units with climate control, a dedicated laundry closet where a Miele washer/dryer has already been fully installed and simply awaits a building-wide electric upgrade already underway for use, as well as all new electrical wiring throughout.
Designed by prolific prewar architects Schwartz & Gross, 175 East 79th Street is a handsome full-service prewar cooperative built in 1928. Residents are welcomed home by a canopied entrance with a limestone surround and elegant wrought-iron doors, and the building offers a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, bicycle storage and private storage for rent. Fabulous restaurants, Madison Avenue shopping, Central Park and Museum Mile are all just moments away, and transportation is effortless with the 6 train, the Second Avenue Subway, and multiple bus lines including the M79 crosstown. Pets and pieds-a-terre are permitted. There is no flip tax, and financing is up to 70%.
