Property Description for 180 East 79th Street, 4-A
Sunny Sunken Living Room in this Palatial Prewar
You will not find many 2 bedroom apartments of this scale! 180 East 79th Street is known for having apartments with enormous room proportions, large windows and dramatic sunken living rooms. The apartment predominantly faces East with incredible light and features bountiful prewar details including the high beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplace with original mantle, flanked by built-ins, wrought-iron railings, original strip oak floors throughout.
The bright and large windowed kitchen is a nice L shaped and would be perfect for the addition of an eat-in banquette. There is a dining area/gallery outside the kitchen. There are two primary bedroom suites off the bedroom hallway each with bathrooms ensuite. Almost equal in their gracious dimensions, one bedroom faces East on Third Avenue and the other is facing West with nice afternoon light and some green views. The four walk-in closets in this apartment are almost like their own rooms!
This apartment has been white-washed to show its incredible potential. The bathrooms are original with the large cast iron soaking tubs. The kitchen is not original but needs updating. The apartment does have through-wall air conditioning (central is also allowed) and washer/dryers are allowed in unit. Private storage in the basement is included in the sale.
180 East 79th Street is a beautiful full service prewar cooperative located conveniently on the southwest corner of 79th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues. The coop features a 24-hour doorman, brand new elevators, live-in resident manager, new fitness center, large central laundry, private storage and bike storage. Pets, pieds-a-terre are allowed. 50% financing allowed. There is a 2% flip tax.

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.
