Spread across approximately 1,450 sq. ft., this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment features oversized windows, abundant closet space, and high-quality hardwood floors, updating the original parquet with a contemporary touch. An expansive and inviting foyer, equipped with a large coat closet, opens into a spacious living area and two separate dining areas.

The residence has extremely low maintenance that includes all utilities. Pied-a-terre are welcome. Pet friendly as well. Recently, 501 East 79th Street underwent a stunning transformation, with a comprehensive renovation of its facade, lobby, elevators, and rooftop deck. Originally constructed as a co-op in 1959, it now stands as one of the most exquisite post-war buildings in the vicinity. Designed with a focus on spaciousness and elegance, the developer enhanced room sizes and layouts, ensuring fewer apartments per floor, catering to buyers rather than renters. Maintaining its distinction as a 100% owner-occupied building, this co-op also possesses the commercial space below, contributing significantly to its income stream. Shareholders benefit from reasonable maintenance fees, which cover all utilities, including electricity, making it an attractive and financially sound investment. Nestled in the serene residential enclave of Yorkville on the Upper East Side, this co-op is just steps away from John Jay and Carl Schurz Parks. Explore a myriad of dining, shopping, and entertainment options along 1st and 2nd Avenues, with easy access to public transit via the Q and 6 trains for seamless commuting. Central Park is a mere 15-minute stroll away.
