425 E 79Th St

A mid-20th-century, 14-story full-service cooperative built in 1955 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The property primarily contains one- and two-bedroom layouts with frequent convertible or den configurations that accommodate home offices and flexible living plans. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, built-in storage and crown moldings; many units include windowed galley kitchens, breakfast bars, sizeable foyers, and multiple walk-in or custom closets. Shared resources emphasize landscaped outdoor spaces—an elevated planted roof deck, furnished seating areas, and a back courtyard—along with practical resident services: 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent and porter staff, central laundry, bike room, communal storage, and an on-site garage with discounted shareholder rates. The building’s pet-friendly policy, cooperative governance that permits co-purchasing, guarantors and gifting on a case-by-case basis, and generally low maintenance charges support owner-occupiers and some flexible purchase structures. Located steps from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, the address provides immediate access to the Q and 6 trains, the 79th Street crosstown bus, neighborhood restaurants, shops and cultural attractions, creating a classic Upper East Side lifestyle with both urban convenience and landscaped respite.
