Property Description for 178 East 80th Street, 8-AB

Renovated 3 bedroom/3 full bathrooms with potential to create 4th bedroom. All new wood floors installed plus washer/dryer, ample storage, home office space, balcony, open views, and lots of light.

In the heart of the Upper East Side, this large, combined apartment on the west side of Third Avenue provides you with a bundle of benefits not readily found in the rest of the building or even in the neighborhood. Three full-size bedrooms each feature their own en suite bathrooms. A 16-foot-wide expanse of windows across the living room, and another 8-foot array in the primary bedroom, welcome the eastern sun across the broad span of Third Avenue each morning. On the western side, the kitchen and two other bedrooms allow plenty of afternoon and evening light as they overlook townhouse patios. There is plenty of closet space for each bedroom including two substantial walk-in closets in the primary bedroom.

As you enter into the foyer, you have the perfect welcome area or mudroom. The coat closet awaits just inside, and there is plenty of room to leave umbrellas and shoes—it immediately feels like home. Just past the hidden Bosch washer/dryer (only allowed in combination apartments in the building!) you step into the warm and wide central living room. Here, as in all of the apartment, beautiful brand-new wood flooring has been installed, ready for the next owner to move right in, along with rich wood cabinetry supplemented by granite tops. To the left are the windows extending along Third Avenue, with an 85 sq. foot office nook just off the main room. Through an opening on the right is the separate dining room, perfect for quiet meals or for hosting friends. This serves as the hub for the bedrooms and windowed kitchen, featuring the same gorgeous cabinets and counters as the living room, and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances.

The Kenilworth is a full-service luxury cooperative centrally located in the most convenient part of the Upper East Side. Within just a few blocks is a huge range of retail stores and restaurants as well as Central Park and Museum Mile. Two major subway lines (the 4/5/6 and Q) and multiple crosstown and north/south bus lines give you ready access to not only every part of the neighborhood but to most of the city when you need to go further. The building, with its newly renovated lobby and hallways, is attended by an experienced staff around the clock and a live-in Resident Manager. Other highlights include a furnished roof terrace with stunning 360-degree views of Manhattan; a bike room; and on-site laundry room. Pied-a-terres, guarantors, and co-purchasers considered. Sorry, dogs are not allowed.

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.
