About

A hidden Art Deco gem, 240 East 79th Street is a distinguished 1929 prewar cooperative rising 16 stories in Lenox Hill. With roughly 65 residences, the building stands out for its architectural integrity and boutique scale.

The façade blends warm red brick with glazed terra-cotta ornamentation and a green-marble entrance surround, rare surviving details from the neighborhood’s late-1920s building boom. Its carefully preserved craftsmanship offers a graceful counterpoint to the post-war and glass towers that now define much of the Upper East Side.
