225 E 79Th St

A boutique prewar cooperative on the Upper East Side, this 17-story brick-and-limestone building was completed in 1929 and converted to co-op ownership in the 1980s. The property contains 46 residences ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments, many retaining classic prewar details such as beamed or high ceilings, original inlaid hardwood floors, crown moldings, arched doorways and generous foyer spaces. Interiors commonly feature walk-in closets, sizable dining areas, windowed kitchens and updated finishes including marble or stone baths and modern kitchen appliances; several units have been combined and fully renovated to offer contemporary chef’s kitchens, washer/dryer hookups and multi-zone climate control. Common areas include a 24-hour attended lobby, passenger elevators, a live-in superintendent, building storage, bike room and a central laundry in the basement. Pet policies are flexible for small dogs (size limits vary by unit or listing), pieds-à-terre and co-purchasing are typically allowed, and the building generally permits up to 80% financing. Located between Second and Third Avenues near East 79th Street, the address sits within walking distance of Central Park, museums, restaurants, grocery options and multiple subway and bus lines, supporting an Upper East Side urban lifestyle with strong transit and neighborhood amenities.
