205 E 78Th St

A 20-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1931 and converted to co-op ownership in the 1980s. The building presents classic Art Deco detailing in a recently refreshed lobby and hallways, and offers full-service staffing including a 24-hour doorman and live‑in superintendent. Residences range from studios to three‑bedroom apartments and typically showcase high ceilings, hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, crown molding, wood-burning fireplaces and built‑ins that reflect preserved prewar character. Many units have reconfigured kitchens with modern appliances, generous closet capacity including walk‑in and his‑and‑hers closets, windowed baths with soaking tubs, and features such as recessed lighting and separate formal dining or den spaces. Shared building amenities include a central laundry room, bicycle storage, rentable private storage bins, and select private outdoor spaces. The co-op permits pied‑a‑terres, co‑purchasing, gifting, purchases by parents for children, and offers pet-friendly policies for small dogs (generally under 30 lbs). Maintenance fees commonly include heat, hot water and electric, with some apartments carrying modest additional electric charges. The address places residents a short walk from Central Park, museums, Madison Avenue shopping, dining, and multiple subway and bus links, supporting a classic Upper East Side urban lifestyle.
