180 E 79Th St

An 18-story prewar cooperative erected in 1929 by architects Schwartz & Gross, this full-service Upper East Side building contains 49 units ranging from studios to expansive multi-bedroom homes. The exterior presents a classic masonry façade with traditional setbacks and a modest private courtyard; many residences include small private outdoor terraces or balconies. Interiors emphasize period detail—high ceilings, crown moldings, hardwood floors, sizable entry galleries, built-ins and wood-burning fireplaces survive across multiple layouts. Apartments commonly feature formal dining rooms or separate eat-in kitchens with pantries, abundant closet storage including walk-ins, and provisions for in-unit washers and dryers with board approval. Common areas are staffed and maintained: 24-hour doormen, attended elevators with semi-private landings for select homes, a live-in resident manager, and full-time building staff. On-site amenities include a renovated fitness center, bicycle room, tenant storage, and laundry facilities; the building permits pets and pied-a-terres subject to board review and allows up to 50% financing in some cases. Located on the Upper East Side near transportation, schools, museums, and shopping, the property blends prewar architectural character with modernized services and white-glove building operations.
