239 E 79Th St

A mid-century, 18-story cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1957 and containing 66 residences mostly arranged as one- and two-bedroom layouts. The brick-and-masonry facade conceals a traditional prewar-scaled interior: high ceilings, generous entry galleries, and wide corridors that were recently refreshed along with a renovated lobby. Individual units commonly feature formal dining areas or breakfast bars, built-in storage and millwork, crown molding, hardwood floors, pass-through or eat-in kitchens finished with granite or stone counters, and upgraded bathrooms; many homes receive abundant natural light from multiple exposures and corner windows. Building-level amenities emphasize full-service living: a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, on-site handyman, central laundry and an on-site parking garage. A landscaped roof deck and planted courtyard/garden give residents private outdoor space while smaller private terraces accompany some apartments. The co-op permits pets and allows washers/dryers subject to board approval; maintenance levels have historically been low thanks to strong financial reserves and conservative management. Located near the 4/5/6 and Q subway lines, the property sits within walking distance of grocery markets, restaurants, parks and the East River Esplanade, supporting a convenient, amenity-rich Upper East Side lifestyle.
