440 E 79Th St

A 17-story postwar cooperative built in 1955, this Upper East Side residence offers a mix of studios through three-bedroom layouts across traditional elevator-served floors. The exterior presents a mid-century urban apartment house scale with a landscaped, furnished roof deck that provides city and river outlooks. Inside, apartments commonly feature hardwood floors, original foyers or galleries, roomy living and dining areas, eat-in or galley kitchens updated with granite or quartz counters and stainless appliances, and plentiful custom closets and built-ins. The co-op operates as a full-service building with a 24-hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, elevator service, an updated fitness room, full-size laundry, bike and storage rooms, and an on-site garage accessible from the building. Pet-friendly policies and allowances for pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, and gifting are offered on a case-by-case basis; subletting and financing limits are governed by the board (commonly permitting up to 75% financing). The block location between 1st and York Avenues places residents a short walk from Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, neighborhood schools, restaurants, and multiple subway and crosstown bus options for citywide commuting.
