Property Description for 109 East 79th Street, 12-WEST

109 East 79th Street was designed by the renowned Steven Harris Architects with interiors by Rees Roberts + Partners and developed by Legion Investment Group. Residence 12W was decorated and finished by Robyn Karp Design and spans approximately 4,140 square feet combining exceptional scale with timeless elegance. With exposures to the south, east, and north, this extraordinary residence is flooded with natural light and offers five bedrooms, five en-suite bathrooms, a powder room, a great room, a library, a windowed eat-in kitchen, and a separate laundry room. High ceilings grace the principal rooms, while the spectacular great room has a dramatic 17-foot-4-inch ceiling. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, with the finest materials and craftsmanship used throughout. There are oversized white bronze casement windows, chevron-patterned rift and quarter-sawn American white oak floors, custom plaster cornices, recessed panel doors with polished nickel Nanz hardware, Dornbracht fixtures, and exquisite custom millwork. Additional features include a separate service entrance and individually zoned VRF heating and cooling, hidden speakers and Sonos.

Accessed through a private keyed vestibule with a large coat closet and finished with St. Clair marble floors and European white oak paneling, the residence opens into a gracious entrance gallery that immediately establishes the home's impressive scale. Beyond is the magnificent 32-foot-long south-facing great room finished with Venetian plaster and with a soaring 17-foot-4-inch ceiling and dramatic 13-foot-tall windows overlooking 79th Street. Adjacent is the handsome library, beautifully illuminated by a large bay window. There is an elegant powder room beautifully finished with Maya quartzite. The exceptional eat-in kitchen is centered around an oversized bay window and has been beautifully appointed with custom hand-painted Italian cabinetry accented with polished nickel trim, Imperial Danby marble countertops and backsplashes, and a custom stainless-steel island topped with Nordic Gray marble. A full suite of professional-grade appliances includes a Wolf six-burner range with a grill, vented hood, double oven and speed oven, two Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers, a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, two Miele dishwashers, and two Julien sinks. A large walk-in pantry provides abundant storage, while the adjacent laundry room is equipped with custom cabinetry, a sink, and a LG washer and vented dryer.

Occupying its own private wing, the luxurious primary suite overlooks a beautiful expanse of landmarked townhouses and landscaped gardens through a stunning 20-foot-wide wall of windows. The suite offers a windowed sitting room, two oversized dressing rooms, four additional closets, and a magnificent marble bathroom finished in Olympic Danby stone. The spa-like bath features a radiant heated floor, a custom double vanity, a deep soaking tub, a separate oversized shower and water closet, both enclosed in fluted glass and trimmed in polished nickel. The secondary bedrooms are all generously proportioned, and each enjoys an en-suite bathroom finished with Nestos Grey stone, custom vanities, and either a large shower or a soaking tub.

The building is staffed by full-time doormen, concierge, and a live-in resident manager. A spectacular double-height lobby features a residents' lounge, private library, and beautifully landscaped garden. There is a state-of-the-art fitness center by The Wright Fit with soaring double-height ceilings overlooking the neighboring gardens, a movement studio equipped for Pilates and Gyrotonic training, an international squash court with a retractable basketball hoop, and a luxurious spa offering treatment rooms, an infrared sauna, steam room, and hair salon.

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.
