Property Description for 31 East 79th Street, 12-E
Bright and beautiful are the best ways to describe this seven room home with all exterior rooms, in one of the Upper East Side's premier prewar cooperatives.
A private landing leads you into the large gallery, off of which the entire home flows. The enormous perfectly proportioned living room has a wood burning fireplace with a regal carved marble mantle and open South and side Park views. The formal dining room is spacious and bright, facing East over Madison Avenue. The new chef's Clive Christian kitchen has open North exposures, custom hand painted shaker cabinets, Carrera marble countertops, a 48" Sub-Zero refrigerator and vented stove. There is lots of cupboard space, a generous pantry as well as counter space, and a butler's pantry. The Miele washer and dryer are in the kitchen as well.
On the North side of the apartment there are two large staff rooms and a renovated full bathroom. One is a perfect guest room or bedroom and the other is set up as a study. These staff rooms have open North exposures.
The second bedroom is set up as a library and has a renovated en-suite bathroom. It is gracious and square with a lovely Eastern exposure and custom bookshelves. The grand corner primary suite has both South and East sun filled views and four wonderful closets, including two large walk-ins. There is also a large renovated en-suite windowed bathroom.
The entire apartment has beautiful quarter sawn herringbone and strip hard wood floors, through wall air conditioning and high ceilings. The living room, dining room and library have been wired for speakers. Spanning 2 corners, this home has all outside rooms and enjoys spectacular light from the South, East and North all day.

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.
