Incredible views and massive terraces from this four bedroom in York Towers, located at 501 East 79th Street. Come see sweeping views of the East River, south to the Citicorp building, and to the west, Central Park, all on any one of the enormous terraces. Four (can be five bedrooms), three and a half baths, and multiple terraces give it the distinctive feel of a private house in the sky. As you enter the gracious foyer into the large living you see uninterrupted views of the New York City skyline (buildings across the street are landmarked) with plenty of room to entertain inside and out. Gut renovated with wood floors, baseboard moldings, new windows, custom closet interiors . Prepare to feed the masses from the well equipped windowed eat-in kitchen (handsome custom cabinetry and WALK IN PANTRY make cooking easy). On the eastern wing of the apartment, the master bedroom faces south with its own private terrace, walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom and extensive built-ins. The second bedroom, almost a second master bedroom, also has a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The owner has cleverly renovated, installing side by side washer and dryer as well as the perfect den (or fifth bedroom or office or staff room) and half bath and tons of storage. Up on the 19th floor it is both pin drop quiet and flooded with light. Don’t forget the extremely low maintenance that includes ELECTRICITY, GAS, and basic CABLE. Pets and pied-a-terres allowed. All this in a well-managed, fiscally strong building: York Towers at 501 East 79th Street is a full service building with 24 hour doorman, live in super, and extremely low maintenance that includes all utilities: ELECTRICITY, GAS, and basic CABLE (maintenance is kept low with revenue from commercial tenants). Newly renovated hallways, elegant lobby, bike room, new landscaped roof deck and a new gym in the fall. Convenient to public transportation, as well as the taxi line to the financial district, and cross town bus. Excellent schools, Carl Schurz Park, and John Jay Park are extremely close by. Atlantic Grill, Flex Mussels, Boqueria, Sushi of Gari, The Simone, Tanoshi Sushi, Sasabune, and Candle 79 are just some of the great restaurants in the area.
