308 E 79Th St

A distinguished 17-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1928 and clad in limestone and brown brick. The building houses primarily one- and three-bedroom residences that retain classic prewar detailing: beamed, high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown moldings, built-ins, generous foyers, and formal dining areas. Individual units commonly feature walk-in closets, windowed kitchens with breakfast bars or eat-in space, recessed lighting, double vanities, and soaking tubs. Shared amenities emphasize concierge-style living: a 24-hour doorman, attended lobby desk, live-in superintendent, an upgraded gym, furnished garden/courtyard, bike room, package/mail room, laundry facilities, conference room, and additional storage. Building services and policies support flexible ownership: pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, gifting, and limited sublets are permitted; small pets are allowed within specified weight limits. The property benefits from recent building systems upgrades including automated elevators and modern security/communication systems. Located on a tree-lined block east of Second Avenue, the cooperative sits steps from neighborhood shops, restaurants, public transit (including nearby Second Avenue subway access), and multiple green spaces such as Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, and John Jay Park, offering a blend of classic architectural character with white-glove building conveniences.
