180 East 79th St. #4A

Sunny Sunken Living Room in this Palatial Prewar

You will not find many 2 bedroom apartments of this scale! 180 East 79th Street is known for having apartments with enormous room proportions, large windows and dramatic sunken living rooms. The apartment predominantly faces East with incredible light and features bountiful prewar details including the high beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplace with original mantle, flanked by built-ins, wrought-iron railings, original strip oak floors throughout.

The bright and large windowed kitchen is a nice L shaped and would be perfect for the addition of an eat-in banquette. There is a dining area/gallery outside the kitchen. There are two primary bedroom suites off the bedroom hallway each with bathrooms ensuite. Almost equal in their gracious dimensions, one bedroom faces East on Third Avenue and the other is facing West with nice afternoon light and some green views. The four walk-in closets in this apartment are almost like their own rooms!

This apartment has been white-washed to show its incredible potential. The bathrooms are original with the large cast iron soaking tubs. The kitchen is not original but needs updating. The apartment does have through-wall air conditioning (central is also allowed) and washer/dryers are allowed in unit. Private storage in the basement is included in the sale.
