Property Description for 301 East 78th Street, 16-C
Exquisite Designer Renovation with Iconic Views
Welcome to Residence 16C-a flawlessly reimagined, high-floor sanctuary nestled in the heart of the Upper East Side. This sun-drenched two-bedroom, two-bathroom home showcases sweeping city vistas through grand dual exposures to the west and south, and features a private terrace and in-unit washer/dryer for effortless living.
A complete gut renovation has transformed the space into a haven of refined luxury, with no element overlooked. Featuring brand-new electrical wiring along with completely updated plumbing throughout, the residence is designed for modern living. Seven-inch wide-plank white oak floors run seamlessly throughout the home, enhanced by ambient recessed lighting in the living and dining areas, as well as both bedrooms.
The open-concept chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring a spacious eat-in breakfast area-anchored by a stunning 15-foot island wrapped in Gold Calacatta quartz, with a matching quartz full-height backsplash. Designed for both beauty and function, it features top-of-the-line appliances including Sub-Zero, Bosch, Miele, a Caf six-burner range, wine fridge, and a 27" Torun Fireclay farmhouse sink.
The expanded primary suite offers dual exposures and an iconic view down Second Avenue. The custom en-suite bathroom thoughtfully enlarged with raised ceilings and overall square footage,features a walk-in rain and handheld shower, elegant marble flooring, and an imported European vanity. Two cleverly designed closet wings provide exceptional storage, including a deep, spacious linen closet.
The second bedroom is generously scaled, with ample closet space, while the guest bathroom exudes understated elegance, featuring floor-to-ceiling tile, a special edition Restoration Hardware vanity, a Kohler soaking tub, and a recessed medicine cabinet.
Step outside to your private west-facing terrace, newly tiled and equipped with electric, offering the perfect setting for alfresco dining or sunset cocktails. Additional features include a Nest smart home system, California Closets throughout, and turnkey condition for immediate enjoyment.

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.
