A sun-filled, south-facing, classic seven rich in pre-war charm and timeless elegance. With soaring 10-foot ceilings and a quiet rear exposure, the apartment offers exceptional light and serenity throughout. The layout, spanning around 2,000 SF, includes three generously sized bedrooms plus an additional staff room or home office.
A gracious foyer opens to three distinct wings: the formal entertaining spaces, the service rooms, and the private bedroom wing. The expansive living and dining rooms are ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring newly installed herringbone hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The atmosphere is sophisticated, grand, and inviting. The large, windowed kitchen is designed for entertaining and functionality, offering ample storage, a pantry, and a separate laundry area.
The beautifully proportioned primary bedroom is tucked away at the end of the hall and enjoys open southern views over the landmarked townhouses of East 78th Street and beyond. Two additional bright and spacious bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Uninterrupted southern exposures provide abundant light throughout the day and lovely open city views.
Ideally located in one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods - the Upper East Side - you're just moments from Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, world-class dining, shopping, and convenient public transportation. The building is surrounded by beloved local favorites such as Nightly's, Elio's, Flex Mussels, Eataly Cafe, Orsay, Casa Tua, Sant Ambroeus and Kappo Masa. This coveted co-op is also within walking distance of Whole Foods, Fairway, Citarella, and Agata & Valentina; great for those who love to cook or entertain.
Designed by Schwartz & Gross and completed in 1916, 156 East 79th Street is a distinguished, full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman and resident superintendent. The building permits up to 60% financing, is pet-friendly, and offers a laundry room, private storage, and bicycle storage.
Please note there is a capital assessment of $720.27 per month that ends 12/31/2026
