Property Description for 155 East 79th Street, 9/10

Perfectly located on the 9th and 10th Floors of a boutique premier condominium, this spectacular sun-flooded duplex spans approximately 4,292 square feet with soaring 10'3" ceilings, picturesque city views, a wood burning fireplace and a terrace. This exceptional home offers five-bedroom suites, five full renovated bathrooms and an elegant powder room.

Every detail of this residence has been meticulously curated by the world-renowned design studio Meyer Davis, known for their unparalleled level of finishes. They have made this home a true work of art with specialty paint finishes, a new plaster curved staircase and bespoke details throughout.

The elevator opens directly into an exquisite entrance gallery featuring the sweeping staircase. Off the entry is a powder room and a large coat closet. To the south is the palatial living room that is 31-feet long with two sets of floor-to-ceiling casement windows and French doors that open onto Juliet balconies. This luxurious room has open city views and houses the wood burning fireplace complete with a Calcatta Gold marble mantelpiece and floating oak shelves on other side. Adjacent is the formal dining room providing an elegant space for gatherings. Through pocket doors is an incredible chef's kitchen with custom cabinets and an enormous center island with ample seating; it is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances from Gaggenau and Miele, and Dornbracht fittings. Off the kitchen is an incredible entertainment/media room with a wall of floor to ceiling windows and French doors that open onto a terrace. The entertainment/media room is perfect for movie nights or gatherings while the terrace, overlooking the iconic All Souls church, offers a serene escape amidst the vibrant city backdrop. Also on this floor is a library or fifth bedroom which has treetop views and an en-suite bathroom with bathtub.

Upstairs is the private quarters. The gorgeous primary bedroom suite has four oversized windows featuring stunning city and treetop views. It has a lavish dressing room finished in cerused oak with two islands, built-in dressers and endless amounts of storage. The primary bathroom is clad in marble and has two sinks, a deep-soaking bathtub, an oversized shower, and a separate water closet. There are three additional bedroom suites all with open city views, excellent closets and en-suite bathrooms - two with bathtubs and one with a shower. Completing the home is a laundry room with an Electrolux washer/dryer, a sink and storage.

This boutique condominium was completed in 2016 and designed by Andrew Sheinman of Pembrooke & Ives in collaboration with BKSK Architects. It houses just seven residences and offers a level of exclusivity and privacy that is truly exceptional. There is a full-time doorman and a resident manager, a gym, a bicycle room, and private storage.

There is a working capital contribution equivalent to two months common charges paid by the purchaser at closing.

This is more than just a residence; it's a masterpiece of design and luxury living in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
