201 E 79Th St

A full-service cooperative on Manhattan's Upper East Side, this 20-story residential building was completed in 1963 and primarily offers two- and three-bedroom apartment configurations alongside varied convertible layouts. The exterior has been recently updated with a new facade and upgraded roof; residents also use a redesigned rooftop and a private landscaped garden within the building courtyard. Interiors favor traditional apartment planning: large entry foyers, separate formal dining rooms, high ceilings, hardwood or parquet floors, well-proportioned living rooms with abundant closet storage and windowed kitchens finished with granite counters and stainless appliances in many units. Building systems have been modernized — new elevators, heating and cooling upgrades, improved hallways and a renewed lobby — and thru-wall HVAC units serve major rooms. Common facilities include 24-hour doormen, concierge, live-in resident manager, on-site laundry, bike room, private storage sheds, and an on-site garage. The cooperative is pet-friendly and permits pied-à-terres with board approval; there are typical co-op rules such as flip taxes and board review for renovations. Located steps from subway lines, Central Park, and Museum Mile, the building sits on a crosstown street amid restaurants, shops and cultural institutions, offering a classic Upper East Side residential experience.
