Property Description for 243 East 78th Street, 6-B
The windows alone in this apartment will steal your heart, but that’s just the beginning. Beautiful, oversized, double-glazed casement bay windows facing south from every window onto 78th Street, set the tone for this sunny, happy, perfectly designed two bedroom, two bath apartment. The foyer, with a generous coat closet, leads directly to the open kitchen and living room, with trees and charming townhouse views filling every window. The modern PoggenPohhl kitchen is both beautiful and functional with Caesarstone countertops and backsplash, an integrated state-of-the-art Liebbher refrigerator, Bosch appliances, a hood that vents to the outside and an Insinkerator garbage disposal. A generously sized, tranquil master bedroom, which easily fits a king bed, has a beautiful bay window across the entire south side of the bedroom and features a very large outfitted walk-in-closet, an additional regular closet, and a stunning en-suite master bathroom with custom marble mosaic floor, glass enclosed shower, walnut vanity with Caesarstone countertop, mirrored medicine cabinet, and built in storage. The second bedroom, also facing south, has its own beautiful bathroom with marble floors and a Waterworks cast iron tub. There is also a washing machine and vented dryer in the apartment.
Located on a charming tree-lined block, 245 East 78th Street is a historic building that has been reimagined as a boutique collection of twenty-two modern apartments. The classic and detailed pre-war facade has been carefully preserved and restored, while double-glazed European casement windows have been added for optimal natural light and architectural richness. Aside from the exterior, everything in the building has been completely gut renovated. Residents will enjoy all new systems such as individually controlled multi-zone heating and cooling, Insinkerator garbage disposals, washer/dryers that vent and hardwood floors. Amenities include an attended lobby with a full-time doorman and a package room for deliveries, a landscaped roof terrace with open city views, a private fitness center with a walkout courtyard, a bicycle room, and a private storage closet for each residence. With an ambiance that resembles a wonderful boutique hotel, 245 East 78th Street raises the bar for apartments on the Upper East Side. Pets are welcome.

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.
