About This Home

40 East 78th Street, Apt 6A at The Charles House is one of the few full-service condominiums along the Upper East Side's coveted Gold Coast. Compact by design and generous in character, this mid-century one-bedroom makes the most of every inch.

The main living area opens to a wide bank of windows and rich herringbone parquet floors, with ample wall space. A subtle enclave distinguished by crown moulding and a sculptural overhead pendant creates a natural dining area.
The kitchen is compact but efficiently configured, with glass-front cabinetry, a four-burner gas range, and a checkerboard parquet floor that carries its own personality.

The wide windows in the bedroom allow the eastern morning light in. A king bed fits comfortably, with plenty of remaining space for seating. The bathroom has a basket-weave marble mosaic floors, an exposed nickel console sink with stone countertop, and polished nickel fixtures throughout. Current assessment of $157.74 per month until 2034

The Charles House offers full-service living with a newly renovated lobby, 24-hour doorman, concierge, and live-in superintendent. The landscaped roof deck is a standout amenity, delivering unobstructed views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Additional amenities include a fitness center, parking garage, bike storage, and private storage.

Steps from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Upper East Side location is convenient to boutique shopping, fine dining, and world-famous cultural attractions.
