230 E 79Th St

A mid-20th-century cooperative set on a prime Upper East Side block, this 19–20 story brick-and-concrete residence was completed in 1964 and converted to co-op ownership in the mid-1980s. The property contains a mix of alcove studios, one-bedroom and three-bedroom layouts, many of which feature large picture windows, hardwood floors, generous closet space and flexible dining nooks or dens. Interiors range from original-condition layouts to fully renovated kitchens and baths with modern finishes such as quartz and stainless appliances. Common elements include a staffed 24-hour doorman desk, a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry facilities and ancillary storage/suitcase rooms. The building footprint opens to a landscaped courtyard and offers private outdoor terraces on select units, some under and some over 60 square feet. Board policies are conventional for a well-managed co-op: pied-à-terre ownership and co-purchasing are permitted, subletting is limited and generally subject to approval, and pets are typically not allowed. Recent capital improvements noted by management include upgraded hallways, a modernized mail/package room, cell-phone intercoms and building-wide wiring for high-speed services. Located steps from the 79th Street branch library, bus and subway access, grocery markets and neighborhood dining, the building provides a residential, city-centric lifestyle with easy access to Central Park and cultural institutions.
