Property Description for 301 East 78th Street, 10-E

Prime Estate Sale Opportunity! Oversized one bedroom/Junior 4 apartment with open, west-facing city views featuring a large living room, additional dining/seating areas, and abundant storage.

Bring your decorator and your imagination! This gracious space gives you the ability to create the home you’ve always wanted in a fantastic location. As you enter the apartment your eyes go to the wide expanse of windows which provide spectacular light and open views, especially towards sunset. Immediately to your left of the entry foyer, there is a perfect location for a dining table or desk for a home office. The long living room gives you ample space for gracious entertaining. To the right of the living room you'll find a separate dining area, which could also be used for a home office or converted into a second bedroom.

The extra-large bedroom, with more than enough space for a king-sized bed and additional furniture, features another set of west-facing windows and wonderful light. Two adjoining closets allow for an extensive wardrobe. The connecting hallway features three additional closets including a walk-in. There is additional private storage pending a wait list.

In the heart of the Upper East Side, the Lenox House gives you immediate access to a plethora of shopping, dining, and nightlife options, and is within easy walking distance of parks (Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, and John Jay Park), schools, and Museum Mile. With numerous transportation options within a few blocks—multiple crosstown and north/south buses, and near the 6 and Q trains—all of Manhattan is readily accessible.

This full-service building offers a complete array of the most desirable amenities. It features a renovated lobby with new elevators, high-end fitness center, central laundry, community room for social gatherings, storage, and bike room, all monitored and maintained by a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, and staff. The monthly maintenance remains low due to the coop’s strong financials and commercial storefronts on 2nd Avenue. The building is welcoming to residents with 75% financing available, as well as openness to co-purchasing, parental purchasing, and guarantors. Pets are permitted and pied-a-terres are considered on a case-by-case basis. Washer/dryer with board approval. There is an assessment of $90.05 per month. Broker shows, 24-hour notice required. Photos virtually staged.

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.
