425 East 79th St. #5E

Enjoy functional living and gracious entertaining in this duplex four bedroom plus extra-large den apartment, located in the heart of the Upper East Side on 79th Street. This seven (7) room home (originally 8 rooms) offers an exceptional space and a flexible floor plan to suit your needs.

A charming entry foyer, on the upper level, leads into the sunny South-facing living room which has a sizeable balcony. There’s a dining area with banquet seating and an unusually spacious (15′×12′) windowed eat-in-kitchen that offers a comfortable, efficient, and inviting setting.

Located off the living room is the South-facing, sunny master bedroom with an en-suite renovated bath. Down the hall are the two additional nice-sized bedrooms with North-facing windows and a shared renovated bath.

A wide, straight staircase leads down from the upper level to an enormous den/playroom or second living room with a North exposure. Another good-sized bedroom with an updated bathroom is on this level. The apartment boasts many large, walk-in closets, a cedar closet, a new washer/dryer and a wet bar set up.

This very special post-war duplex coop is in a full service building with a lovely furnished roof-deck, a courtyard garden, common storage, bike room, garage, and a live-in superintendent. Pets are welcome, but pied-a-terres are not permitted. The East River Promenade and Carl Shurz Park are steps away, as are many private and public schools, neighborhood restaurants, museums and shops. There is excellent access to public transportation — including the express share ride to downtown and express busses to midtown, as well as easy access to the FDR Drive.
