Property Description for 425 East 78th Street, LLA
Upon entering this unique apartment, it will genuinely feel like your own house in the center of the Upper East Side.
There are entrances on both levels. The laundry room is conveniently located next to the apartment and the private patio leads to a lovely and large planted backyard. There is also a bonus direct entrance to a garage next door for those interested in renting a space in the parking lot.
Apt LLA retains its beauty and bones of turn-of-the-century prewar architecture and construction highlighted by a total renovation. With the provenance of an earlier era, this refined one-bedroom 1.5-bathroom duplex home is a masterful combination of both old and new. In prewar tradition, a gracious entrance foyer leads to the large bedroom with original exposed brick. The expansive living/dining area is in another level next to the outdoor terrace. Beautiful variegated hardwood floors predominate throughout the home, further enhanced by lofty ceilings up to 9 feet in height. The kitchen features all stainless steel appliancs: an Itialian Bertazzoni range, GE Dishwasher, Bloomberg refrigerator and GE microwave.
The north-facing apartment features a lovely view of its own private terrace plus the lush, landscaped garden out back, along with towering tree branches. The apartment is in mint move-in condition and maintains a particular character from both its prewar individuality and its enclosure in a boutique-style building.
Tall leafy trees lining the quiet block of this prewar coop built-in 1910 which has an intimate feel at only 7 stories and with 35 units. Amenities include a live-in super, laundry room, and a verdantly landscaped garden for residents. Pets allowed. The coop also permits guarantors, parents buying for children, and pieds-a-terre. The neighborhood is convenient to Carl Schurz Park, and several playgrounds, established restaurants and cafes, world-class museums, and local area shops. Transportation by bus or subway is readily accessible from the major lines.

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.
