Property Description for 136 East 79th Street, 10-B
RENOVATED PREWAR COOP with 3+ BEDROOMS, SPECTACULAR VIEWS & TERRACE
Welcome to apartment 10B in the prestigious prewar coop, 136 East 79th Street, located between Park and Lexington Avenues. This elegant and sophisticated apartment wows from the moment you enter its marble entry foyer.
With approximately 2,910 square feet, its scale is grand and welcoming. The apartment was completely renovated and features a new kitchen with marble countertops, marble bathrooms, and central air conditioning. Although completely renovated, the home retains its prewar heritage and architectural details abound such as magnificent crown moldings, arched doorways, beamed ceilings and a private elevator vestibule.
Perhaps the apartment's most remarkable feature is its rare south-facing terrace with its sunny, wide-open views of the city's skyline. The terrace is off the paneled library (which can be another bedroom), and is adjacent to the apartment's entry foyer. There is a magnificent living room with over 10 foot tall ceilings, a wood burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling south-facing French doors with spectacular views. The formal dining room has a custom banquette typical of French bistros in Paris, also with sunny southern exposures, and a renovated kitchen and pantry. At the far end is a home office or guest bedroom, powder room and laundry.
The apartment features an incredible corner primary suite comprised of 2 bedrooms, one which is now a wonderful dressing room, a stunning marble bathroom with a stand up shower and separate soaking tub, plus a second bathroom which also acts as a powder room off the library. Lastly there is another bedroom and full bath on this wing of the apartment.
136 East 79th Street is renowned for its staff and service. It was built in 1928 by by the celebrated architect Francis Burrall Hoffman, later becoming a cooperative in 1949. There are just 25 apartments on 14 floors in this full-service, white-glove building. This is a pet-friendly building, and amenities include a garden on the ground floor, fitness center, bike room, storage bin and wine storage. 50% financing is permitted and there is a 3% flip tax, payable by the seller. The building is located on one of the best crosstown blocks on the Upper East Side, and is convenient to transportation, museums, shopping and many of Manhattan's finest restaurants.

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.
