Beautiful, graciously-proportioned luxury home on one of the Upper East Side’s loveliest tree-lined blocks! The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom floor-through gem resides in a fabulous white-glove cooperative and handsome midcentury building standing 20 stories off 3rd Avenue. Light-filled interiors are spacious and airy, with oversized windows facing east, west and north, and a gracious flow for entertaining. Rich solid oak hardwood floors pour throughout the apartment adding warmth and elegance.

A long entry foyer with triple closets greets your arrival and leads into a central gallery. At right is a huge living eastern room where you can lounge, watch TV, host guests, even work remotely in the private office area with a built-in desk and shelving. Across the gallery sits an inviting formal dining room with a big western window overlooking the quiet courtyard and city. The finely-renovated windowed kitchen, adjacent to the dining room, is styled with abundant wood cabinetry, sleek countertops, decorative tile backsplash, tiled flooring and high-end appliances.

The primary bedroom brightened by a large eastern window is a relaxing retreat complete with a massive walk-in closet, and a renovated en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub/shower. The second bedroom is also generously-sized with ample closets and a sunny western exposure looking out over the courtyard. In the nearby hall you’ll find a stunning newly renovated full bath with a big spa shower behind glass, and a washer-dryer for laundry ease. Both bedrooms have electric shades. Other highlights are through-wall air conditioning, and a private storage locker in the basement.

179 East 70th Street is a desirable luxury cooperative with an excellent staff including full-time doormen and a resident manager, a new state-of-the-art gym, common laundry facility and more. The ideal location is minutes to shops and restaurants, The Food Emporium, Central Park and local conveniences. Pets are allowed.
