Property Description for 501 East 79th Street, 5-A
Generously proportioned move-in ready 3 bedroom, 3 and a half bathroom residence with sunny triple exposures.
A proper foyer welcomes you into Apartment 5A, inviting you into the residence's main entertaining spaces: the living room, kitchen, and dining room. The south facing capacious living room with exceptional natural light showcases gleaming hardwood floors and contemporary built-ins, as does the generous formal dining room with enough space to accommodate seating for 8-12 people. The kitchen features neutral tile flooring, ideally complementing the gray tile backsplash, white cabinetry, and cool toned granite countertops. The stainless steel kitchen appliance suite includes a full size dishwasher, French door refrigerator, built-in microwave, and gas range/oven. Additional features of Apartment 5A include a fourth windowed flex room, currently used as an office, as well as an updated powder room and a dedicated laundry room with full size stacking washer/dryer and
additional storage.
Three carpeted bedrooms are located on the east side of the apartment, separated from the entertaining spaces for true quiet privacy. They are all of generous size, with the primary and secondary bedrooms both having dedicated ensuite bathrooms and corner exposures. The third full bathroom is located just outside of the third south-facing bedroom within this private enclave. The powder room located just off of the kitchen is ideal for guest use, further maintaining the privacy of Apartment 5A's residents. Abundant storage, attractive millwork, and recessed lighting is found throughout.
Situated on the northeast corner of York Avenue and 79th Street, 501 East 79th Street is a full service cooperative built in 1959 featuring spacious apartments, ideal layouts, and reasonable maintenance inclusive of all utilities. Building amenities include a full time doorman, live-in super, landscaped roof deck, central laundry room, on-site parking (waitlist), and bike storage. Pied-a-terres are welcome and the building is pet friendly. Subletting is not allowed, maintaining 501 East 79th Street's distinction as 100% owner occupied. The building owns the commercial space on the ground floor, further contributing to the low attractive maintenance. Shareholders benefit from reasonable maintenance fees, which cover all utilities, including electricity. No flip tax.

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.
