Property Description for 308 East 79th Street, 14-GH

No expense was spared in crafting this meticulously renovated and beautifully appointed 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence. Set on the 14th floor of an exceptionally well-run and gorgeous pre-war co-op, Residence 14GH has been expertly combined and completely gut renovated. A spacious entry foyer complete with crown molding, Phillip Jeffries grasscloth, and an arched entryway create an airy, welcoming feel, while a large walk-in closet provides ample storage for every day necessities. An expansive South-facing living room is bathed in sunlight all day through 4 large windows framing wide open views of the Manhattan skyline. Custom millwork, crisp white wainscoting, tray ceilings and Jacobean stained hardwood floors all blend together beautifully to create an elegant yet modern masterpiece. Thoughtful touches such as an integrated entertainment system, recessed lighting, and custom-designed bookcases and storage cabinets, help keep the home clean and organized. Whether you are a professional chef or aspiring to become one, a tastefully designed windowed kitchen features ample storage space including a carefully concealed large pantry. Polished marble counter tops, subway tiled walls and backsplash, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, Viking microwave, Miele dishwasher and a Shaws farmhouse sink create a truly luxurious cooking experience. A built-in chalkboard provides a space to leave cute notes for family and friends, plan out your next recipe, or lay out a daily schedule. Next to the kitchen, a custom designed bar was created to store all of your most essential beverages for entertaining or unwinding after a long day, including a wine fridge below, and additional bottle storage above. The king-sized primary bedroom is pin-drop quiet and features fixtures from Restoration Hardware, two large walk-in closets, recessed lighting and custom built-ins which can be used as an office area or makeup vanity. A windowed en-suite primary bathroom is clad in marble and outfitted with Grohe and Kohler fixtures, including a glass enclosed rain shower. The generously sized second bedroom is both bright and cheery. The South facing second bathroom is bathed in natural sunlight all day and has been meticulously designed to include a mixture of subway tile, marble and reclaimed wood shelving for additional storage. Situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, 308 East 79th Street was beautifully built in 1928 and has been meticulously cared for since.

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.
