Why It’s So Popular
Located on the top floor of a self-managed co-op building in the Lenox Hill section of the Upper East Side, 338 East 78th Street #5F is a dreamy duplex that boasts so many unique details it’s hard to know which to highlight first. Upon entering the front door, you’re immediately greeted by a flexible foyer space and an uber-deep closet for easy storage. The foyer opens up to an extra-long combination living and dining room lit from two oversized exposures that look down onto the idyllic neighborhood street below. A wood-burning fireplace serves as the room’s natural focal point thanks to cozy exposed brick and the two built-in bookshelves that flank it.
Right off the main living area lies a compact L-shaped kitchen. An updated appliance package — including a Bosch dishwasher — optimizes the space. Granite countertops coupled with light wood cabinetry provide a classic design motif. And if you need even more storage, take a cue from the listing photos: One of the bookcases can double as a bar.

The main level is also host to one of the home’s two bedrooms. A north-facing window floods light through the versatile space, and a ceiling fan helps keep the room comfortable throughout the year. This room would be perfect for a nursery, guest bedroom, work-from-home office, reading nook, yoga room — you name it!
Travel upstairs via the dynamic spiral staircase and you’ll find the real show-stopping details of the home. A stunning primary bedroom offers an en-suite half-bath and enough space for a king-size mattress. A fully-integrated closet and vanity unit makes storage not only convenient but effortlessly chic. There’s even a combo washer/dryer hidden behind one of the doors, making laundry day an absolute breeze.
Step through the sliding doors of the primary suite and you’re rewarded with breathtaking Manhattan views from your fully-private roof deck. As if that’s not enough, a separate, sunny rooftop solarium offers additional seating and vibes for days. Just imagine the summertime soirées you could host up here!
