Property Description for 39 East 79th Street, 2-A

From the semi-private landing, one enters this extraordinary three bedroom apartment at 39 East 79th Street. Large windows, facing south and west, dominate the living room, which is 28'5" by 18'1", to create a light flooded and gracious entertaining space. High ceilings (9'5") throughout this terraced apartment make it a true gem on the Upper East Side in one of our finest buildings. The formal dining room overlooks a huge, 47'10" by 9'3", outdoor space, which is shaded and cool in the summer and which provides entertaining space morning, noon, or night. There are three well-proportioned bedrooms each with its own bath. There is a kitchen and laundry room (formerly maid's room) and separate bathroom that could be combined to make a large eat-in-kitchen.

This apartment is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in a space which can be easily enhanced and updated for maximum enjoyment.

In addition to the gracious apartment, there is an additional dividend; a first floor private office space just off the lobby. It is one of only three such spaces in the building.

The extraordinary low cost of maintenance in this building make it a compelling choice when considering the options to own a spectacular apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Located within the "Museum Mile," this apartment is within a short distance of many museums and cultural institutions. The multiplicity of educational institutions in the area from kindergarten through college and the proximity to the marvelous Central Park of New York are further enhancements of this apartment's location. There are no shortage of restaurants, of every description and of the highest quality.

Transportation is at its best at 79th and Madison. The crosstown bus provides the fastest way to reach the West Side of Manhattan. The Madison Avenue Bus and The Fifth Avenue bus are the consummate means of transportation for anyone going downtown or uptown from this Upper East Side paradise.

This white glove building's prime location is just a block away from Central Park and mere minutes from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Mark, The Surrey, The Carlyle Hotel, Sant Ambroeus, and the best shopping, restaurants and galleries on the Upper East Side!

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.
