The generous layout of 5H features a proper entrance foyer, a formal dining area and a large amount of closet space. The original solid wood parquet floors are in excellent condition. The living room measuring almost 16x19 is adjacent to a dining area which can easily accommodate a large entertaining space and office. This is a quiet west facing home with thru-wall air-conditioning in all of the rooms. Washer/dryer permitted with board approval. 239 East 79th Street is a full-service building with newly renovated hallways and lobby. Pets are permitted and there is an extremely helpful staff including a 24-hour doorman. There is a magnificent roof deck that was just completed featuring comfortable and elegant furnishings including lounging, dining and reclining. The location is central and ideal, a few blocks from the 4, 5, 6-trains and the new Second Avenue Q-train. Pristine financials, management, and service have made 239 East 79th Street one of the most sought-after cooperatives on the Upper East Side. The unusually strong financial condition of this cooperative (boasting no assessments in decades and a large reserve fund), along with very stable maintenance, makes this a wise investment. No flip tax.
