136 E 79Th St

A distinguished prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, built in 1928 and rising 14 stories with roughly 25 residences. The building reflects classic 1920s apartment-house architecture in brick and limestone with wrought-iron detailing and private elevator landings for many homes. Unit types are large multi-room layouts—three- and four-bedroom and larger maisonette configurations—characterized by high ceilings, original crown moldings, hardwood herringbone and parquet floors, decorative fireplaces, and oversized multi-pane windows (some floor-to-ceiling or with Juliet balconies). Interiors commonly include formal dining rooms, libraries or dens, eat-in kitchens with butler’s pantries, entrance foyers, extensive built-ins and generous closet/dressing-room space; several apartments retain separate staff rooms that have been repurposed as offices, laundry or guest suites. Shared building amenities are full white-glove service with a 24-hour doorman and resident manager, a state-of-the-art fitness center, bicycle room, wine storage and oversized private storage bins; a landscaped communal garden and courtyard provide rare outdoor space. Pets are permitted, 50% financing is allowed, and a seller-paid flip tax applies. Located between Park and Lexington Avenues near East 79th Street, the building offers immediate access to Central Park, museums, upscale shopping and neighborhood services favored by families and professionals.
