Property Description for 239 East 79th Street, 3-P

Just Listed! Contact me to schedule a weekday or weekend showing. Open house by appointment only this Saturday 5/10 from 2:00PM - 4:00PM and Sunday 5/11 from 1:00 - 2:30PM. Welcome to Residence #3P, a fully renovated 2 bed, 2 bath home with a separate dining alcove that can easily be converted into a 3rd bedroom. This corner unit boasts bright northern and western exposures, a well proportioned layout, and an in unit washer dryer. This presents a unique opportunity to purchase a move-in ready home in a full service co-op with an impressively low maintenance of $1,972/month and no flip tax. A proper entrance gallery lined with a wall of custom closets opens into an expansive living room with northern exposures. A row of windows fills the space with natural light and showcases beautiful treetop views. Newly finished floors by Duchateau and recessed lighting overhead accentuate the space’s modern, sophisticated aesthetic. The chef's kitchen has undergone an extensive renovation resulting in a space that is as sleek as it is practical. The kitchen is newly appointed with Caesarstone countertops and matching backsplash, custom cabinetry, under cabinet lighting, and a suite of high end appliances including a Liebherr refrigerator paired with a Bosch dishwasher, microwave, and range. The kitchen leads directly into the separate windowed dining area that can be converted into a 3rd bedroom or home office if desired. See alternate floor plan which illustrates this configuration. To the left of the entrance foyer is a hallway leading to the bedroom wing – a nice separation from the entertainment area. Positioned on the corner, the oversized primary bedroom also enjoys treetop views and wonderful natural light. Features include a row of closets, custom millwork surrounding the window, and a renovated ensuite windowed bathroom. The bathroom boasts a walk-in shower adorned with mosaic glass tiles and an organic stone floor, complemented by warm ceramic tile throughout the space. The second bedroom is also generous in scale, featuring a spacious double-door closet and bright western exposures that fill the room with afternoon light. Just down the hall, a well-appointed bathroom offers a deep soaking tub. Other notable features include through the wall AC for year-round comfort and an in unit Miele washer dryer. This luxury co-op offers a full time doorman, live-in resident manager, garage, bike room, and a beautifully landscaped roof deck with sweeping views. The renovated lobby and hallways enhance the appeal of this well maintained and stable co-op. Positioned in an unbeatable location surrounded by restaurants, gourmet shops, supermarkets, and public transportation. Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, and John Jay Park are just a few blocks away. Zoned for PS 290. Assessment of $94.74/month. Pet friendly!

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.
