Property Description for 440 East 79th Street, 15-E
Move right into this beautiful and spacious mint home with open northerly views over 79th Street from the 15th floor. The apartment has been completely renovated with thoughtful planning; this includes a new top-of-the-line windowed kitchen, marble bathrooms, and thru-wall A/C units (which can be controlled all year by the owner). The perfect home for the discerning buyer!
A gracious entry gallery greets you as you enter the living room which opens into the dining room and ultimately the gorgeous kitchen with quartz countertops and custom-white wood cabinetry. The hallway off the gallery leads to the two bedrooms, keeping the entertainment area very separate from the sleeping quarters. There are 7 large closets throughout that are beautifully outfitted with natural wood.
Other noteworthy details include custom cabinetry over each AC/radiator unit and new wide plank wood floors in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and hallways.
The Gregory House is a full-service, pet-friendly white glove co-op with a 24-hour doorman and live-in super. Residents enjoy easy access to transportation (Crosstown bus on East 79th Street, Second Avenue Subway Q line, Lexington Avenue 6 line, and FDR), restaurants, and multiple parks (East River Promenade, Carl Schurz Park, and John Jay Park) as well as proximity to some of the city’s best schools.
Other amenities include a landscaped roof terrace outfitted with furniture, a laundry room with brand new machines, a fitness center, a bike room, shared luggage storage, and on-site parking. 75% financing is permitted. Co-purchasing and pieds-a-terre are considered on a case-by-case basis, and subletting for a limited duration is permitted with board approval following several years of ownership. A W/D is not permitted in the apartment.

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.
