$369,000 | Residence 1E | 225 E 79th St
Residence 1E at 225 E 79th St is a rare alcove studio on the first floor of this full-service prewar co-op in the Upper East Side.
First resale in nearly half a century; this home has been owned in the same Family since the building was converted to a co-op in 1985.
Renovated in 2023, with meaningful upgrades from marble finishes to maximized closet space, yet the apartment maintains its prewar bones including original parquet oak-wood floors and unique brass front door. Move-in-ready, perfect for a first home or pied-à-terre. A thoughtful layout, with classic prewar character, and the simple luxury of walking straight from the lobby into your own home.
A sleeping alcove custom fit for a queen-sized Murphy bed at the front of the apartment gives you a defined room to rest, and allows separation from living and sleeping. Step through to the generously sized living room, where 10-foot ceilings frame large windows welcoming ample light into the living room and kitchen. Overlooking the vacant courtyard on the backside of the building, providing peace and privacy in abundance. The marble-finished kitchen is fitted with new appliances: a built-in Haier microwave oven, LG refridgerator/freezer, four-burner gas Avanti stove and oven.
Monthly Maintenance is $1,517.80 (Additional Capital Assessment totaling $166.32 per month until May 2027.)
Converted to co-op in 1985, 225 East 79th Street is an intimate 80-unit full-service prewar cooperative on a quiet mid-block stretch of East 79th Street between Second and Third Avenues, where the Upper East Side meets Yorkville.
Residents are served by a full-time doorman and a live-in resident manager. Building amenities include a central laundry room, elevator, a bicycle room, and rentable storage lockers. The co-op is smoke-free, and pets are permitted with board approval.
Welcoming first time buyers, pied-à-terres, co-purchasing and parental purchases. There is currently no flip tax, and up to 80% financing is permitted. Sublet permitted after 2 years.
