330 E 79Th St

A boutique prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1939 and rising ten stories with 24 units, the building presents classic mid-20th-century apartment-house character. Exterior masonry and traditional proportioned windows frame an understated façade; the lobby has been renovated while retaining prewar detailing. Units are predominantly two- and four-bedroom layouts that emphasize generous room proportions, high beamed ceilings, and hardwood (often herringbone) flooring. Typical interiors feature separate foyers, formal dining rooms, pantries, abundant built-in storage and large, sun-filled windows with multiple exposures that provide both northern and southern light. Common areas and services support full-time residential life: a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator access, laundry room, bike room and rentable storage in the basement. The co-op’s rules are relatively flexible for the neighborhood — permitting guarantors, co-purchases, parents buying for children, subletting and allowing washer/dryer installation in units; some sponsor units are offered without board approval. Pets are allowed. Parking is not provided on site; public transit access is strong with nearby Q and 6 trains and crosstown buses. The building sits on a double-street block near restaurants, shops and parks, offering an Upper East Side lifestyle that combines prewar architectural charm with modernized apartment conveniences.
