Description

This sprawling apartment, in excellent condition, provides the ultimate home for gracious entertaining and comfortable living. With all major rooms facing north over 79th street, the apartment is graced with abundant sunlight all day long.

A private elevator landing leads to a large entry foyer that serves as the focal point of this perfectly laid out home. The enormous living room is centered between the library and the dining room providing an almost 50 foot expanse of grand entertaining space.

A wood burning fireplace and two floor-to-ceiling windows with Juliet balconies in the living room provide a stunning backdrop to this oversized room. To the east of the living room sits the cozy library, also accessible from the foyer and to the west sits the grand dining room. The dining room is conveniently accessed from both the living room and the pantry and includes a lockable closet complete with a safe for all your valuables.

There are three generously sized bedrooms each with their own bath.

All of the bedrooms are flooded with sunlight and two feature beautiful corner exposures with open views. A small fourth bedroom serves as a generously sized office.

The large eat-in-kitchen ideally designed for the serious cook, features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, two dishwashers, double Viking ovens and a six burner cook top. On either side of the Kitchen are a laundry room with large side by side washer/ dryer and a pantry with ample wine storage.

Additional features of this impeccably maintained apartment include perfectly preserved prewar details, soaring 9'10" ceilings, hardwood herringbone floors, abundant closet space and through the wall air conditioning.

Built in 1928 by renowned architect Francis Burrell Hoffman, 136 East 79th Street is a full-service, white-glove cooperative with a 24-hour doorman and a resident manager.

The buildings' amenities include bicycle and dedicated storage, wine storage, a fitness center, and a lovely landscaped garden on the ground floor. The building allows 50% financing and pets are permitted. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the seller.
