229 East 79th St. #4C

SECOND AVENUE SUBWAY…YES! Superior living on the Upper East Side in a beautifully maintained full-service building. This sunny, well-proportioned two-bedroom co-op has much to speak for itself. The foyer is a perfect entry point for coming home or greeting guests. It’s roomy enough for a bench to remove snowy boots and hang outer gear in the deep coat closet. Only three years old, the reimagined kitchen is the showpiece of the apartment. Large enough for a built-in banquette — with storage underneath and a window above — this room has been beautifully designed for the creative and busy cook. Details include: a matte slate floor, lustrous quartz counter tops, glass upper cabinets, wine storage, mini subway tiled backsplash and Viking appliances. Enter the light-strewn living room, with built-ins flanking two bright windows, and enjoy both formal dining and late-night movie-watching with friends. The bedroom suite closes off to keep revelers separate from little nappers. The master bedroom captures more south-facing light and has two closets; a ceiling fan offers a gentle breeze on warm nights. The second bedroom is quietly tucked away and has floor-to-ceiling closets. The windowed bathroom has been updated with six-inch white tiles, vanity for additional storage and an extra-deep tub. Beamed ceilings, parquet floors, nine-foot ceilings and solid construction harken to the building’s c.1930s origins. This pet-friendly co-op boasts a SPECTACULAR common roof deck, a luxuriously renovated lobby and brand-new elevators. The door is attended 24/7, laundry is available to all in the basement and a full-time super keeps the building in ship-shape. And, YES, with the opening of the Second Avenue subway, this building is more accessible than ever! This is a “DON’T MISS”!
