225 E 79Th St

Built in 1929, this 17-story prewar cooperative on the Upper East Side presents a classic boutique apartment house composed of studios through three-bedroom residences. Architectural hallmarks include high beamed ceilings, crown and base moldings, original hardwood and inlaid oak floors, generous closets and foyer entries that give many units a formal flow. Interiors range from well-preserved prewar studios with alcoves to fully renovated one- and two-bedroom homes featuring windowed kitchens, Carrara or marble finishes, and modern appliances; select upper-floor apartments offer city or courtyard exposures and private outdoor terraces. The building operates as a full-service co-op with a 24-hour attended lobby, elevator service, and a live-in superintendent; on-site conveniences include a central laundry room, bicycle and storage rooms, and building storage options. Pet policies are flexible (small-to-medium dogs allowed by rules), and the co-op permits pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and parental purchases on a case-by-case basis. Located between Second and Third Avenues near East 79th Street, the property sits within easy walking distance of Central Park, museums, restaurants, shopping, and multiple transit options (4/5/6 and Q trains, crosstown bus), supporting a traditional Upper East Side residential lifestyle.
