Property Description for 156 East 79th Street, 9-A

Finally, a grand Classic Eight for offer in a handsome 1915 pre-war co-operative located at the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 79th Street. This apartment defines the epitome of good bones with eight true rooms of ideally laid-out space. Ten foot ceilings, large windows framing high floor City views, a working wood burning fireplace with original mantle, beautiful original hardwood herringbone floors, French doors, and wonderful, cavernous interiors create the perfect blank slate for you to create your ideal home. Formal living and dining rooms, three proper bedrooms along a bedroom hall, a large galley kitchen and two oversized staff rooms offer limitless options.

Owned by the same family for many decades, this treasure will require kitchen and bath updates, in addition to cosmetic restorative work.

Please note that 9F is also for sale, which is directly across the hall. Though the two apartments may not be combined as they do not share a common wall, 9F would provide ideal additional space for the purchaser of 9A for a multitude of uses.

156 East 79th Street is an impeccably run, long established co-operative that allows 50% financing, and offers the reassurance and convenience of a 24 hour doorman, resident building manager, and personal storage in the heart of the Upper East Side.

There is a special assessment of $297.79 through January 2013 and a capital assessment of $259.00 through June 2013.

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.
