425 E 79Th St

A mid-century, 14-story co-operative constructed in 1955 that sits on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The property contains 69 primarily studio and one-bedroom residences, with occasional larger floor plans and alcove layouts; typical units feature hardwood floors, high ceilings, built-in cabinetry, and generous closet space, including walk-in closets in some apartments. Common interior elements emphasize prewar-scale circulation—entry foyers, separate dining areas, and galley-style kitchens updated in many units—alongside finishes such as crown moldings, built-ins, and pantries. The exterior includes planted communal spaces: a landscaped roof deck, a planted back courtyard and small garden, plus private balconies or outdoor niches on select homes. Building services and operations are full-service: a 24-hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, porter staff, and on-site management oversee laundry facilities, communal storage, a bike room, and a resident garage. The co-op is pet‑friendly and nonsmoking, with board policies that allow co-purchases, gifting, and sublets under review; pied-à-terre ownership is typically restricted. Located steps from Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, and convenient transit (Second Avenue/ Lexington Avenue lines, M79 crosstown), the building blends a residential neighborhood feel with immediate access to dining, markets, and cultural institutions.
