239 E 79Th St

An 18-story, full-service cooperative constructed in 1957, this Upper East Side residential building presents primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts with some convertible configurations. The masonry façade and corner siting create classic prewar scale while interiors combine preserved details—crown moldings, high ceilings and hardwood/parquet floors—with modern renovations such as updated kitchens, granite/quartzite counters and recessed lighting. Typical residences feature formal entrance foyers, separate dining areas or galleries, generous built-ins and plentiful closets including walk-in storage; many units now accommodate in-unit washer/dryers with board approval and through-the-wall air-conditioning. Shared spaces include a recently refreshed lobby, extra-wide corridors, a landscaped roof deck with seating and dining areas, an interior courtyard/garden, and limited private outdoor terraces. Full-service amenities comprise a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager/super, on-site garage and central laundry; pets are permitted and the co-op offers stable financials with historically low assessments and favorable financing terms. Located at East 79th Street and Second Avenue, the building sits within a dense retail and transit corridor with nearby subway access and neighborhood restaurants, suited to residents seeking a staffed, maintenance-stable cooperative in a traditional Manhattan neighborhood.
