Property Description for 139 East 79th Street, 12-FLR
This light-filled 10-room apartment has a generous size and scale rarely found in city living. Space is flexible, since each apartment in this full-service pre-war building on the NW corner of 79th Street and Lexington Avenue occupies an entire floor.
The private elevator landing leads to a large gallery, which opens onto a spacious living room and a charming library. The apartment has northern, eastern, and southern exposures and receives excellent natural light throughout the day. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and large east-facing windows. The well-proportioned dining room may be accessed through the living room, or by a large pantry which connects to an eat-in kitchen. The entrance rooms are perfect for dinners, concerts, or gatherings of more than fifty people.
The principal bedroom has south-facing windows, 2 large closets, and an en-suite bathroom. A second corner bedroom has windows facing east and south, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. A third bedroom shares its bathroom with the library - which could be converted into an additional bedroom if needed. The apartment also has a home office and 2 staff rooms with a shared bathroom.
This is an exciting opportunity to own an expansive apartment that affords both privacy and centrality in the heart of the Upper East Side.

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.
