Property Description for 180 East 79th Street, 17-B
Palatial-sized rooms and bright sunny skies with cityscape views from the south, east and north makes this elegant classic six a stand out!
The location is choice, the premiere pre-war building is classic, and the apartment itself is in beautiful condition. Lots to love here - including ceilings that soar to almost 10', a wood-burning fireplace in the dramatic sunken living room, and room after room with unusually generous dimensions.
The flexible floorplan allows the original formal dining room to be used as an impressive corner third bedroom with its own full bath. The apartment is set up this way now. However, this room would also be a perfect library/den or utilized as a FDR, as originally intended. The current owners use the generous foyer/gallery space as their dining area. The staff room also has a full bath (making four in all.) This room could also serve as an office, additional bedroom, or be combined with the kitchen. Even now, the kitchen is sizable and has an extended pantry attached. Basically, the apartment is enormous and offers great flexibility in how its rooms are utilized.
Expansive casement windows, quality built-ins throughout, through-wall A/C, and a ridiculous amount of closet space (four in the master bedroom alone!) are additional plusses.
180 East 79th Street is a top-of-the-line pre-war co-op with an impeccable staff. Built in 1929, it has been modernized with new windows and fitness center. There is a newly renovated laundry room, bicycle storage. A private storage bin on the first floor conveys with apartment 17B. Washer dryers in the individual apartments, pied-a-terre use and pets are all permitted with board approval.

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.
