505 E 79Th St

A 19-story cooperative built in 1963, this full-service Upper East Side building offers primarily two-bedroom layouts alongside studios, junior one-bedrooms, and larger multi-room combinations. The exterior is a midcentury Manhattan block with consistent fenestration and many units featuring private balconies or modest terraces. Interiors commonly include formal foyers, separate dining areas or eat-in kitchens, granite counters, walk-in closets and built-in storage; select apartments show renovated kitchens and marble baths while others retain original details suited for renovation. Shared spaces are substantial: a 24-hour staffed doorman desk, attended garage, on-site resident superintendent and freshly updated public areas including a renovated lobby, hallways and elevator cabs. Resident conveniences include a laundry room, bike room, building storage, and central services that support board-approved installations such as washer/dryers. The co-op’s policies are flexible by board approval — pets, guarantors, gifting, parents co-purchasing and pied-a-terres (in some listings) have been permitted. Located near Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade and the M79 cross-town bus, the building sits within a walkable neighborhood of shops, restaurants, parks and strong transit links to midtown and downtown.
