Property Description for 301 East 79th Street, 37-L

This is a rare opportunity to live in this elegantly-renovated Penthouse with Balcony at the highly-coveted building, the Continental Towers Condominiums in prime Upper East Side.

As you open the door to your new home, the unobstructed Southern view from the 37th floor greets you. Enjoy the dramatic views, whether it's during the day or evening, you will never tire being bathed in sunshine or moonshine marveling at the beautiful cityscape. As you step into your large foyer (a great spot for an office desk), look to your right and enjoy a chef's kitchen (this configuration provides a larger than usual kitchen) with handmade, imported splash tiles and Kraftmade cabinetry with recessed lights, Ceaserstone surface tops, electrical faucet and the ever-so-silent Bosch dishwasher, Bosch range oven, microwave and refrigerator. No cost has been spared in the renovation of this penthouse condo from the skim-coated walls, Delta recessed lights in the living room and beautiful engineered flooring from Carlisle Wide Plank floors throughout. Step in your spa-like bathroom well-appointed with a vanity imported from Italy, a medicine cabinet with double mirrors and internal light complete with USB plugs, and thermostatic valve and shower equipment from Hans Grohe. Convenience and romance are a priority in the large bedroom with custom-made closets and Delta bedside lights. Enjoy your morning coffee in the large balcony - make sure you step out and experience what it's like to have no obstruction above you since you are now an owner of this marvelous penthouse apartment. The sky is indeed the limit.

All windows have been refurbished with new ballast, glass (with gas in between double glaze), all closets custom-made and the AC and heat units have been replaced with the most powerful allowed. The lobby and service at Continental Towers are unparalleled, complete with a gorgeous chandelier set in the middle of a 30 ft ceiling, with doorman and concierge that will spoil you. There is also a landscaped roof deck, roof garden, huge laundry, fitness center (for owner's only). Halls were recently renovated, and the lobby will be renovated in 2024. Come see this property with a broker who has owned and sold in the building since the early 1990's, knows every gourmet restaurant and bars in the area, takes the Q and 6 train (a stone's throw away), plays with his family at the nearby Carl Shurz, Central Park, the Met Museum, has served on the PTA at the school around the corner and is active in the local community board and city council. This part of the Upper East Side is one of the most desirable because of its nurturing community. Make your private appointment to see it now.

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.
