Gracious and appealing are two adjectives that properly describe this sunny and spacious convertible three-bedroom, two-bathroom cooperative residence.

A classic, well-proportioned layout defines the home, featuring oversized rooms and an effortless flow throughout. Upon entry, a generously sized foyer welcomes you and transitions seamlessly into the expansive living space. The large living room is bathed in natural light, offering direct southern exposure and two walls of picture windows.

The living area connects beautifully to an open dining room-ideal for entertaining or hosting gatherings. Previous owners have transformed the dining space into a third bedroom or a private office.

The windowed galley kitchen will delight any chef, offering abundant storage, granite countertops, and premium appliances by Wolf, LG and Bosch. A convenient breakfast bar completes the space.

Both bedrooms are generously sized and can comfortably accommodate king-sized furnishings. The primary suite features an en-suite bathroom and an oversized walk-in closet.

Additional highlights include crown moldings, hardwood floors, custom closets throughout, ultra-quiet windows, flexible HVAC units, and a convenient washer and dryer.

201 East 79th Street has recently undergone a dramatic transformation, including a striking new facade with an energy-efficient porcelain rain screen system, upgraded insulation, waterproofing, and structural enhancements-adding both visual appeal and long-term value.

This full-service, pet-friendly cooperative offers a 24-hour doorman, concierge, resident manager, package room, bike storage, additional private storage, central laundry, private garden, roof deck, and on-site garage.

Ideally located near Central Park, Museum Mile, as well as some of the Upper East Side’s finest dining and shopping and services. 2% flip tax.
