High floor three-bedroom with a private balcony overlooking the East River. That is the headline, and it is exactly as rare as it sounds in a full-service Yorkville co-op priced under two million dollars. Apartment 15K at East River House occupies the 15th floor of one of the Upper East Side’s strongest cooperatives, a Philip Birnbaum designed building at 505 East 79th Street between York and East End Avenues. The apartment has been thoughtfully renovated and delivers three true bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a private balcony with protected East River and Queens skyline views, and a layout that works for real life. The living room runs nearly 22 feet deep and faces the river. Step through to the balcony, and you are looking across a low-rise landmark historic district, which means nothing is going up to block the sightline. Back inside, the separate dining area seats six and connects directly to a renovated galley kitchen with granite countertops, white Shaker cabinetry, matte black hardware, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, and hexagonal tile floors. This is a kitchen that was designed for cooking, not just for photos. The primary bedroom measures nearly 12 by 18 feet and includes a walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms are each over 10 feet wide, genuinely sized for furniture and daily use. Both bathrooms have stone tile finishes with tub and shower combinations behind glass enclosures. Wide plank hardwood floors and crown molding run throughout, and the closet count across the apartment exceeds seven. East River House runs like a building twice its price point. There is a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a 24-hour attended parking garage, a laundry room, bike storage, and additional storage availability. The board permits 75 percent financing, guarantors, gifting, parents co-purchasing with children, pets (one dog under 35 pounds), and washer-dryer installation, all with board approval. Subletting is allowed for up to two years. The building has completed major capital improvements, including new boilers, new elevators, renovated hallways and lobby, a new cooling tower, and a new intercom system, all without assessments to shareholders. The location is one block east of Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, which means weekend mornings at the dog run, afternoon walks along the river, and playground access at John Jay Park. P.S. 158 Bayard Taylor is the zoned public elementary school. Brearley, Chapin, Dalton, and Loyola are all within a short commute. Grocery options include Agata and Valentina, Morton Williams, and D’Agostino. The Q train is four blocks north at 83rd and Second Avenue, the 6 train is two blocks south at 77th and Lexington, and the M79 and M31 crosstown buses stop at York and 79th. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private balcony, protected river views, a renovated kitchen, a 24-hour doorman, a garage, and 75 percent financing in a building with no assessments. If you are searching for a three-bedroom co-op on the Upper East Side under two million, this is the listing to see in person.
