About the Listing 1348 - 39349
Flooded with southern light through oversized windows with views across East 79th Street, this meticulously renovated and thoughtfully reconfigured seven-room residence offers a rare combination of classic prewar architecture, modern design, and exceptional natural light. Entered from a semi-private elevator landing, the apartment opens to a gracious foyer and a dramatic open living and dining space with approximately 9’5” ceilings. Newly installed herringbone hardwood floors, raised doorways, and refined custom millwork enhance the apartment’s elegant proportions while creating a seamless flow for both daily living and entertaining. The apartment has been intelligently redesigned from its original layout, relocating the kitchen to create a spacious open-plan entertaining area. The custom-designed chef’s kitchen forms a centerpiece of the apartment's modern living area and features white wood cabinetry, high-end appliances, separate laundry facilities and a large island with sink. The original kitchen location has been transformed into a versatile office or media room, complemented by a newly created powder room for guests. This generously proportioned room could easily function as a fourth bedroom if desired. Through-wall air conditioning and an integrated audio system has also been installed. A separate hallway leads to the private bedrooms. The spacious primary suite features a beautifully enlarged marble bathroom with double sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. There is a well-fitted walk-in closet and the opportunity to create an array of customized storage. Two more generously sized bedrooms and a second custom marble bathroom completes this wing of the apartment. Built in 1915 by the noted architectural firm Rouse & Goldstone, 161 East 79th Street is a distinguished neo-Renaissance cooperative and a classic example of Upper East Side prewar architecture. Ideally located on the Upper East Side’s most desirable cross-town block, the building offers convenient access to Central Park, Museum Mile, and the neighborhood’s exceptional restaurants, boutiques, and cultural attractions. Full-service amenities include a 24-hour doorman, live-in Resident Manager, a bike room and storage. Pets are permitted and financing up to 50% allowed. There is a 2% Flip Tax payable by the purchaser.
