Spread across approximately 1,450 sq. ft., this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment features oversized windows, abundant closet space, and high-quality hardwood floors, updating the original parquet with a contemporary touch. An expansive and inviting foyer, equipped with a large coat closet, opens into a spacious living area and two separate dining areas. Adjacent to the dining spaces, the kitchen has been completely redesigned to include an anthracite peninsula with counter stool seating, stylish European cabinetry, and new stainless appliances, ensuring ample countertop and cabinet storage. A unique addition to the layout is a sizable laundry room. This space is not only equipped with a fill sized stackable washer/dryer but also offers extensive storage capabilities. 2 access points gives great flexibility. The primary bedroom is a spacious retreat, featuring a walk-in closet that leads to a chic ensuite full bathroom with an oversized shower and a large storage cabinet with a countertop. The second bedroom is also generously sized, featuring a private walk-in closet and convenient access to the apartment's second, attractively updated full bathroom with tub, completing this beautifully updated home. East 79th Street is a co-op with a full-time doorman, a live-in super, a tremendous roof top deck, common laundry, on-site parking, and bicycle storage. The residence has extremely low maintenance that includes all utilities. Pied-a-terre are welcome. Pet friendly as well. Recently, 501 East 79th Street underwent a stunning transformation, with a comprehensive renovation of its facade, lobby, elevators, and rooftop deck. Originally constructed as a co-op in 1959, it now stands as one of the most exquisite post-war buildings in the vicinity. Designed with a focus on spaciousness and elegance, the developer enhanced room sizes and layouts, ensuring fewer apartments per floor, catering to buyers rather than renters. Maintaining its distinction as a 100% owner-occupied building, this co-op also possesses the commercial space below, contributing significantly to its income stream. Shareholders benefit from reasonable maintenance fees, which cover all utilities, including electricity, making it an attractive and financially sound investment. Nestled in the serene residential enclave of Yorkville on the Upper East Side, this co-op is just steps away from John Jay and Carl Schurz Parks. Explore a myriad of dining, shopping, and entertainment options along 1st and 2nd Avenues, with easy access to public transit via the Q and 6 trains for seamless commuting. Central Park is a mere 15-minute stroll away.
