Sun-Flooded Upper East Side 2B/2B in Art-Deco Jewel This bright, high floor, 2B/2B home marries the grandeur of pre-war architecture with the sophistication of the contemporary. From the moment you enter this gracious home, you are taken with the vast space and abundant light created by the three exposures: South,… Read More West and North. The over 30-foot long beamed living/dining room features sophisticated built-ins, and offers a sizable dining room area and an equally large space for the living room. The grand space is very flexible and the big windows welcome lots of light as well as showcase open views. The large eat-in kitchen also features over-sized windows and a plethora of light. It includes a banquette for dining as well as high-end stainless steel appliances. The two bedrooms are of nearly equal size, each with adjacent bathrooms. The primary features a elegantly renovated en-suite marble bath, tiled from floor to ceiling, and with a window. The other bedroom has large windows and a bath that can be part of that bedroom’s suite, or, with the opening of a door, can serve as a guest bath. Owners have added new HVAC units to every major room. They are tastefully done, and eliminate the need for unsightly window units. Every room in this home offers open city views. With copious built-in and five closets--including one extra-large walk in—there is a place for everything. Anyone who has been down East 79th Street appreciates the gorgeous deco façade of 240 East 79th, whose distinctive red brick accented by glazed terra-cotta tiles and green marble are truly one-of-a-kind. What you won’t see from the street is a common courtyard/garden for entertaining (including grilling!). The building is proximal to lots of boutiques, high-end dining as well as casual, and is only a few blocks to Central Park. It is also close to cross-town buses as well as the 77th Street subway. Residents in this beguiling building enjoy a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry and storage facilities, as well as bike storage. The building permits pets, pieds-à-terres, and guarantors. Up to 75% financing permitted, and with board approval, washer/dryers are now welcome in the individual apartments. Don’t miss this opportunity to see this special home.
