179 E 79Th St

A 15-story, white‑glove prewar co‑operative constructed in 1928 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the building blends classic 1920s masonry and limestone detailing with restored interior millwork. Apartment configurations are primarily one- and three-bedroom layouts that retain prewar proportions: high ceilings, formal entrance foyers, beamed ceilings or decorative moldings, hardwood floors, generous closets and built‑in cabinetry. Individual homes range from renovated chef’s eat‑in kitchens and windowed baths to trophy duplex penthouses with landscaped terraces and bespoke finishes. Common areas emphasize traditional co‑op service and comfort: a 24‑hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, central laundry, resident storage, bicycle room and a planted private garden for shareholders. Onsite rules accommodate pied‑a‑terres, guarantors and co‑purchases subject to board approval; pet policies allow small dogs (typically up to 40 lbs) with approval. Located mid‑block on a tree‑lined stretch near Lexington and Third Avenues, the building sits steps from Central Park, multiple subway lines, bus routes, museums, restaurants and neighborhood shopping, offering an Upper East Side lifestyle that balances classic architecture with modernized residences.
