Property Description for 180 East 79th Street, 10-E
This superb, high floor, approximately 2400 square foot E-line apartment is available for the first time in many years in a wonderful prewar co-op building. All the classic original details and finishes remain intact. Enter from a semi-private elevator landing into a huge foyer that extends across the width of the spectacularly wide step-down living room with a wood burning fireplace and large picture windows. It is flanked on the east by an almost equally large formal dining room and on the west by the bedroom wing. Off the entry foyer is an eat-in kitchen and a very spacious staff room, home office or third bedroom with a full bath. The oversized primary bedroom has large windows, enormous walk-in closets and a large bath. The second bedroom also has picture windows, a huge walk-in closet and private bath. The ceilings are very high throughout and each room is grandly scaled. The windows have been replaced and washers and dryers are now allowed in apartments. 180 East 79th Street is a premiere Art Deco building, constructed in 1929 and converted to a co-op in 1967. It features a limestone and brick faade and an elegant lobby. The building offers its residents a full array of services by an attentive 22-person staff, including 24-hour doormen and hall attendants, porters and a live-in resident manager. Amenities include a large common laundry room and fitness center, both recently equipped with a new high-volume ventilation/exhaust system that completely changes the air once every 15 minutes, bicycle storage rooms and large storage cages. The coop is both pet and pied-a-terre friendly. The building recently completed Local Law 11 work and replaced all three passenger elevators (all fully funded). This very special building is conveniently located between Lexington and Third Avenues, steps from every possible amenity.

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.
