109 E 79Th St

109 East 79 is a 20-story full-service condominium completed in 2021 and designed by Steven Harris Architects. The façade combines fluted limestone and masonry brick with expansive casement-style windows, a restrained contemporary take that complements the Upper East Side’s historic townhouse context. The building contains 31 residences ranging from two- to five-bedroom full- and half-floor layouts, several with private outdoor spaces, step-down living rooms, and unusually tall ceilings in select units. Interiors emphasize classical proportion and custom detailing: wide rift and quarter-sawn American white oak floors in chevron patterns, recessed-panel doors, plaster cornices, and white bronze casement windows. Kitchens are bespoke, hand-painted Italian millwork with honed stone counters and professional Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances; baths feature full-height stone slabs and premium fixtures by Dornbracht and Duravit. Private keyed entry vestibules, service entrances, laundry rooms, and extensive pre-wiring for automation and shade pockets are repeated throughout the residences. Common areas are richly finished — a double-height travertine and Belgian Blue marble lobby, a leather-paneled library and lounge that overlook a landscaped private garden with a sculptural water feature. The amenity program includes a light-filled fitness center by The Wright Fit, an international squash/sports court, movement studio, spa with treatment rooms and sauna, screening room, game room, golf simulator, bicycle storage, dog grooming station, private storage for purchase, 24-hour concierge, full-time doorman, 24-hour porter, and a live-in resident manager. Located just off Park Avenue on East 79th Street, the building offers mostly garden and townhouse views to the north and east, and brighter Park Avenue and midtown exposures to the south, situating residents within a highly walkable, culturally established Upper East Side neighborhood.
