Property Description for 79 East 79th Street, 2-FLR
Elegant and traditional 11-room full-floor in estate condition. A private elevator landing opens to a gracious entry foyer, off of which is an array of grand entertaining rooms. The massive living room with a marble wood burning fireplace faces south and enjoys tree lined views and sunny southern outlook over 79th Street. The charming, book-lined formal library opens into the living room and is flooded with southern sunlight. A magnificent formal dining room, off the foyer, has northern exposures and incredible wall space for art.
A private hall off the foyer leads to a grand primary bedroom suite with a dressing room, an en-suite bath and sunny southern exposures. Off a separate 30-foot hallway there are three additional generously-sized bedrooms, all with en-suite baths. There is a huge eat in kitchen with professional appliances. Perhaps the most appealing aspect of the layout is the access from the main bedroom hall onto the huge back space that can be reconfigured in a multitude of ways. What is currently used as a large suite of maids and laundry rooms can be transformed into at least two more bedrooms with baths, a playroom, a media room, etc.
79 East 79th Street is a white-glove co-operative, built in 1928 with fourteen residences. There is a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, private storage and a gym. The building permits financing up to 50% of the appraised value, with approval at the Board's discretion, is pet-friendly, and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.

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.
