About this home
Welcome to Residence 2EF at 501 East 79th Street—a meticulously renovated four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home offering the rare opportunity to enjoy the comfort and lifestyle of a suburban home without ever leaving Manhattan.
The defining feature of this extraordinary residence is its spectacular 1,400-square-foot private terrace—one of the most exceptional outdoor spaces on the Upper East Side. Beautifully landscaped and equipped with a self-watering irrigation system, it serves as a true extension of the home, offering endless possibilities for al fresco dining, entertaining, gardening, children's play, or simply relaxing with a morning coffee surrounded by lush greenery. Rarely does a private outdoor space of this scale and quality become available, creating a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city.
Inside, every inch of the home has been thoughtfully renovated with timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern conveniences. A gracious entry gallery finished in elegant Venetian plaster welcomes you into expansive living and entertaining spaces where oversized windows frame tranquil terrace views and flood the home with natural light.
At the heart of the residence is a stunning oversized eat-in chef's kitchen featuring premium appliances, extensive custom cabinetry, generous counter space, and radiant heated floors. Adjacent to the kitchen, the elegant dining room overlooks the terrace and is anchored by a striking marble fireplace featuring a modern electric flame, creating the perfect setting for intimate dinners or larger gatherings.
Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the intelligent floor plan offers two separate bedroom wings, each with two bedrooms, providing ideal privacy for family and guests. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat, overlooking the terrace and featuring a private home office, generous closet space, and a luxurious en-suite bath. Two additional bathrooms feature radiant heated floors, while an exceptionally spacious laundry room with a vented washer and dryer offers abundant storage and adds to the home's effortless everyday living.
Additional highlights include wide-plank white oak flooring throughout, custom lighting, designer sconces, incredible closet space, and premium finishes at every turn.
York Towers is one of the Upper East Side's most sought-after full-service cooperatives. Recently transformed with a stunning new limestone and brick façade, elegant lobby, modernized elevators, and a beautifully furnished rooftop terrace with East River views, the building perfectly complements the quality of the residence itself. Originally built as a cooperative, York Towers offers the larger room proportions, gracious layouts, and lower-density living that have become increasingly rare in Manhattan.
The financially strong, 100% owner-occupied cooperative also owns its commercial space, helping keep monthly maintenance remarkably low. Even more impressively, the maintenance includes all utilities—including electricity, a benefit found in only a small percentage of Manhattan buildings. Residents enjoy 24-hour concierge service, a live-in resident manager, a private garage (waitlisted), and discussions are underway regarding the addition of a fitness center.
Perfectly positioned moments from Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, John Jay Park, top public and private schools, neighborhood restaurants, cafés, markets, shopping, the public library, and multiple transportation options, Residence 2EF offers an extraordinary lifestyle where sophisticated city living meets the space, comfort, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living typically reserved for a suburban home....
