136 E 79Th St

136 East 79th Street is an intimate, full-service prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side built in 1928 and rising 14 stories. The boutique building contains a very limited number of large, multi-room residences—primarily four-bedroom and grand “9‑room” configurations—laid out with private elevator landings and classic circulation that favors formal entertaining. Architecturally it reflects late‑1920s masonry construction with limestone and brick detailing and preserved period elements such as crown moldings, high ceilings, and decorative fireplaces. Interiors across the building commonly feature generous foyers, formal dining rooms, libraries or dens, eat‑in kitchens with space for laundry, abundant custom millwork and built‑in storage, and windowed baths with marble finishes in many units. Shared amenities are white‑glove in character: a 24‑hour doorman, a long‑tenured live‑in resident manager, fitness center, bicycle room, dedicated storage and wine-cellars for shareholders, and a professionally landscaped communal garden at lobby level. The coop permits pets and allows up to 50% financing; there is a transfer/flip fee. Located between Park and Lexington Avenues, the building offers direct access to Central Park, cultural institutions, and neighborhood shopping and dining, delivering a formal, service-oriented Upper East Side lifestyle.
