Property Description for 325 East 79th Street, 3-E

Apartment 3E is a beautifully curated 2 bedroom 2 bathroom prewar residence, with stunning renovated eat in kitchen- where enduring style and thoughtful upgrades create a timeless, quietly elevated feel.The layout works naturally, and every space has been maintained with longevity in mind.

A gracious foyer with two closets leads to a wall of built-ins, display shelving above and deep drawer storage below- ideal for a bar, books, or collected objects.

The windowed eat-in white custom hardwood kitchen blends traditional cabinetry with smart customizations, including a Shaw Original farmhouse sink, soft-close drawers, integrated pull-outs, custom peg organizers, abundant outlets, and a discreet built-in TV. Appliances include a GE Monogram refrigerator and wine fridge, Electrolux Icon range and microwave, and a Bosch dishwasher. A built-in banquette seats four comfortably for everyday dining.

The oversized living and dining room, over 18 feet wide, offers generous scale for both entertaining and formal dining. A pearlescent decorative ceiling finish adds a refined glow and subtle elegance. A glass French door separates the private wing, where a well-proportioned landing and an additional closet enhance the sense of separation.

The primary bedroom features a charming built-in window seat framed by floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry and a cedar-lined closet. Its en-suite bath is wrapped in Carrara marble with a glass-enclosed shower, vintage-inspired exposed fixtures, a sculptural Kallista pedestal sink, a Duravit wall-mounted toilet, marble shelving, polished-nickel accents, and patterned tile flooring.

The second bedroom is equally inviting, with built-in window seating and storage that echo the primary's custom millwork. Deep green textured wallpaper and two sizable closets complete the space, which comfortably accommodates both sleeping and a home-office setup. The second full bath retains its classic prewar charm with a deep soaking tub, frameless glass panel, vintage fixtures, a window, and a basket-weave mosaic floor.

Throughout the home, antique glass doorknobs, custom window treatments, distinct paint selections, and thoughtful built-ins create a warm, refined atmosphere.

325 East 79th Street is a well-regarded full service prewar cooperative built in 1928 with 81 units and features a live-in superintendent, backyard, laundry, windowed gym, bike storage, personal storage (waitlist) and 24 hour doorman/elevator attendant. Max financing is equal to 65% of Purchase Price. In-unit laundry machines are not permitted at this time.

Its beautifully maintained, manual-style elevator adds classic charm, reinforcing the warm, residential feel of this tree-lined Upper East Side block near the Q and 6 trains, markets, and neighborhood dining.

An assessment of $324.29 per month for elevator modernization began in September 2025. The additional maintenance charge will be spread over a 30-month period.

Note: Buyer is responsible for a flip tax (capital contribution) equal to 15 months of monthly maintenance, payable at closing.

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.
