Property Description for 301 East 79th Street, 36-R

Fully Gut-Renovated High-Floor One-Bedroom with SUPER LOW monthly charges in prime UES. Perched on a high floor in the heart of the Upper East Side, this truly unique south-facing one-bedroom residence is flooded with an abundance of direct sunlight throughout the day. This home has undergone a complete, top-to-bottom gut renovation and offers one of the finest finishes in the building. Every detail was thoughtfully redesigned — including all new electrical, plumbing, walls, flooring, kitchen, and bathroom finishes — creating a seamless blend of modern luxury and comfort. Door frames were raised throughout to enhance ceiling height and create a more open, spacious feel. Dimmers on every light switch allow for customized ambiance, while additional outlets have been strategically installed for convenience. The windowed kitchen is beautifully appointed with quartz countertops, high-end hardware, and premium Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a Bosch refrigerator with built-in water and ice maker, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. Under-cabinet lighting on both sides adds warmth and functionality. The bathroom features three mirrored medicine cabinets offering exceptional storage, along with refined, contemporary finishes. New flooring runs throughout the apartment, complemented by upgraded closet shelving and lighting. The bedroom includes a ceiling fan for added comfort, and designer sconces and ceiling fixtures throughout the home will remain. The bright exposure enhances the open feel and highlights the exceptional finishes throughout. Adding to its appeal are remarkably low monthly charges, making this not only a stunning home but also an exceptionally smart investment opportunity. A rare opportunity to own a meticulously renovated, sun-drenched, move-in-ready residence in a prime Upper East Side location. Continental Towers is a distinguished full-service luxury condominium in the heart of the Upper East Side. The building offers a refined blend of classic Manhattan living and thoughtful amenities designed for everyday comfort.

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.
