240 E 79Th St

An intimate 16‑story, 63‑unit prewar cooperative built in 1929 and rendered in an Art Deco vocabulary, this full‑service Upper East Side building combines historic detailing with everyday conveniences. The façade features polychrome terra cotta and green tile accents framing a classic, modestly scaled entry; interiors preserve original prewar elements such as beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and paneled foyer approaches to many units. Apartments are predominantly two‑bedroom configurations along with multiple one‑bedroom layouts; many homes include windowed eat‑in kitchens, formal dining or foyer galleries, multiple exposures, generous closets, and high ceilings. Building services include a 24‑hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, resident manager, central laundry room, bike storage, personal storage bins, and on‑site staff support. Outdoor space is limited but resident‑exclusive: a small planted courtyard/backyard with a children’s play area, BBQ grill and some private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft. Pet ownership and pied‑à‑terre arrangements are permitted subject to board approval; guarantors and co‑purchasing are considered. Located on a tree‑lined Upper East Side block between Second and Third Avenues near Madison Avenue, the coop sits within walking distance of subway lines, neighborhood grocery and dining options, cultural institutions and Central Park, offering a classic prewar Manhattan lifestyle with full‑service building comforts.
