About this home
Welcome to apartment 2EF at 501 East 79th Street. This is a truly special newly renovated four-bedroom home with a massive private terrace. <br> <br> Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by an impressive entrance hall, finished in elegant Venetian plaster, which leads into a grand living and entertaining space facing the incredible 1400 square foot private terrace where you can dine, host, garden or just unwind with morning coffee. It is beautifully landscaped, has a self-watering system and feels like a private oasis tucked away in the city.<br> <br> This home features a brand new huge eat-in kitchen with x-large top-of-the-line appliances and tons of storage and counter space, making it perfect for entertaining. Right outside the kitchen is the dining room, which also faces the terrace, allowing a wonderful setting of light and beauty while you dine. The dining room features a fireplace with a stunning marble mantle. This fireplace is very special. It's electric, but produces real fire! Modern comfort meets old world charm!<br> <br> The layout is ideal, with East and West exposure, and 2 bedrooms on each wing with 3.5 baths, all convenient to the bedrooms and guests. The primary bedroom is massive, again with peaceful garden views and its own private office. Two of the bathrooms have radiant, heated floors, so does the kitchen, and there is a separate laundry room with a vented washer and dryer - all brand new. Throughout the apartment, you will find wide white oak hardwood floors, an enormous amount of closet space, and very attractive over-head lighting and sconces.<br> <br> The building itself is just as impressive. 501 East 79th Street has a brand new limestone and brick facade, a modern elegant lobby, new elevators, and a furnished roof deck with river views, making it one of the most beautiful post-war buildings in the area. York Towers was originally built as a cooperative, which means larger rooms, more gracious layouts and fewer apartments per floor. <br> <br> It is 100% owner-occupied, financially strong, and owns the commercial space below - which helps keep maintenance low. Not only is the maintenance low, but it includes ALL utilities, including electric, which you only enjoy in about 5% of the buildings Manhattan. There is 24-hour concierge service, a live-in building manager, and a private garage with a waiting list. There are discussions for a gym.<br> <br> The location is excellent - minutes to Carl Schurz Park and the Promenade along the East River with dog parks and playgrounds as well as John Jay Park with pools and basketball courts. Transportation is easy with the 79th Street cross-town bus, the M31, and the Q and 6 subway lines. There are excellent private and public schools, plus great restaurants, shopping, food markets, the US post office and public library. All minutes away!<br>
