Why this property will seduce you

  • Prime Location: Open 14th floor views, transit, and park access.
  • Spacious Living Area: Expansive volumes, three exposures, striking entry gallery.
  • Renovated Chef's Kitchen: Stone counters, premium appliances, natural light.
Perched high on the 14th floor and bathed in natural light from three open exposures, this expansive two-bedroom (with three-bedroom flexibility), two-bathroom residence offers refined living in one of the Upper East Side’s most coveted locations. Graciously proportioned and thoughtfully designed, the home blends timeless elegance with contemporary comfort. A wide entry gallery welcomes you—an ideal space for art display or added storage—setting a tone of quiet sophistication from the moment you arrive. Flowing seamlessly from the gallery is an expansive, open-concept living and dining area, enhanced by a custom built-in media wall and integrated cabinetry. Measuring approximately 20'2 x 24'6, the scale and ceiling height evoke a loft-like ambiance rarely found in postwar construction. The adjacent dining alcove, currently open to the living area, can easily be enclosed to create a third bedroom, home office, or den—offering extraordinary flexibility without compromising the airy layout. Thoughtful details abound, including pristine hardwood floors, recessed lighting and an abundance of custom closets that elevate both functionality and design. Furniture placement options are plentiful, with a natural flow that invites both grand entertaining and quiet retreat. The recently renovated windowed Chef’s kitchen is a study in clean architectural lines, featuring stone countertops, premium stainless-steel appliances, and chic hardware. Sunlight pours in through a window at the far end, adding warmth and depth to the space. Both bedrooms are generously scaled and thoughtfully positioned for privacy. The corner primary suite enjoys dual exposures, two oversized closets, and a windowed en-suite bathroom appointed with classic tilework, a full vanity, and a deep soaking tub—a peaceful, spa-like sanctuary. The second bedroom is equally impressive, comfortably accommodating two full beds with room to spare, and includes excellent storage. A second full bathroom, located off the hallway, features timeless finishes and exceptional utility for residents and guests alike. Building Features & Location 501 East 79th Street is a full-service, pet-friendly cooperative offering 20 stories and 139 residences. Built in 1959 as a coop, the building has undergone comprehensive upgrades, including a facade restoration, new elevators, redesigned lobby, and a beautifully landscaped roof deck. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, bike storage, central laundry, and an on-site garage (waitlisted). The building allows up to 70% financing, charges no flip tax, and offers remarkably low maintenance inclusive of utilities. Pied-a-terre buyers are permitted. Perfectly positioned near Carl Schurz Park, the East River Esplanade, John Jay Park, and an array of transportation options, restaurants, markets, and top schools—this is elevated city living at its most graceful and convenient.
