Property Description for 178 East 80th Street, 11-AB
ONE-OF-A-KIND IN THE KENILWORTH! This fabulous combination offers the most delicious direct sunlight, gracious and spacious rooms, a fantastic center hall, loft-like layout and an easy living lifestyle.
You will be blown away the moment you walk into the dramatic entry foyer with its elegance and clean lines. It offers just a taste of the home's size and good looks. Two ENORMOUS bedrooms flank the foyer, one on each side, and the dining area lies straight ahead. The oversized master has a gorgeous en suite bathroom, wall-to-wall closets and 17'9" of wall-to-wall East-facing windows. Keep your sunglasses handy; especially in the morning and early afternoon. The second bedroom faces West and has open views to the back of the building. It, too, is huge, and offers an en suite bathroom, this one windowed. There is a walk-in closet, and plenty of space to add more storage, a reading area or a desk. The third bedroom will likely be used as an office or guest bedroom and has a bright open Western exposure. The west facing rooms offer total silence, so bring on your lightest sleepers. The living / dining area is L-shaped with nooks and crannies, built-in bookshelves and character galore. The living space is open and large; make it a party house and bring on the crowds! There is a sweet balcony off the living room for your inner urban gardener. It faces East and South and boasts brilliant sunshine all day long. The windowed kitchen was recently renovated and features Italian Poliform cabinetry, marble countertops and floors, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch appliances. In addition, there are tons of closets throughout and an in-unit WASHER/DRYER!
The Kenilworth is a full service luxury coop located on the most gorgeous tree-lined street west of Third Avenue. The location couldn't be more convenient, extremely close to Central Park, Museum Mile, excellent shops and restaurants. The Lexington Avenue and new Second Avenue subways are both just a few short blocks away, and the cross town bus is even closer. The building staff is outstanding with a 24-hour doorman and live in super. There is a beautifully furnished and planted roof terrace, central laundry and bike room. Pied-a-terres, guarantors and co-purchasers permitted. Sorry no dogs.

Upper East Side | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
