Property Description

This unique high-floor Classic Seven is filled with natural light, offering triple exposures to the south, east, and north, with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. Brimming with timeless prewar charm, the residence features refined details, including a wood-burning fireplace and impressive 9’3" beamed ceilings. The semi-private elevator vestibule leads into a 20-foot-long entry foyer that sets a welcoming tone and offers three deep closets. The sunlit south-facing living room’s picture window showcases sweeping city views, complemented by an adjacent formal dining room perfect for memorable gatherings. Beyond, the thoughtfully designed kitchen - expanded from its original footprint - includes a wet bar, separate breakfast area, a convenient powder room, and a vented, stacked washer and dryer. Residence 12B has three spacious bedrooms, two with open southern vistas and sweeping City views, the third with northeast corner exposure, and two and a half bathrooms. The high ceilings and original wood floors add an air of sophistication and continuity throughout the space. Whether you choose to enjoy this residence in its current configuration or customize it to reflect your lifestyle, the potential for elegant living and transformation is limitless. Additional basement storage is included with the apartment for your convenience. Please note, the hardwood floors in the corner bedroom are virtually staged. In a prime Upper East Side location on the cusp of Lenox Hill and Carnegie Hill, 170 East 79th Street provides unparalleled access to renowned museums, boutique shopping and fine dining. This boutique prewar cooperative, designed by esteemed architect James E. Carpenter in 1926 offers sought-after amenities such as a part-time doorman (8 am to midnight), a resident superintendent, a landscaped garden, bike storage, and a laundry room. Pets and through-wall air conditioning are permitted with Board approval. The building is also conveniently located near prestigious private schools, world-class restaurants, and public transportation. The cooperative allows up to 70% financing and has a 1.5% flip tax payable by the buyer. Please provide listing agents with 48 hours’ notice to tour.
