Live Like a Two-Bedroom in the Upper East Side - Spacious 1-Bedroom + Den with Full-Service Amenities. Washer/Dryer Installation OK with Architect & Board Approval!

Welcome to 425 East 79th Street, a spacious one-bedroom plus den in the heart of the Upper East Side offering exceptional value, flexibility, and full-service living.
This oversized residence lives like a two-bedroom apartment, featuring a generous layout with expansive living and dining areas, and a separate den ideal for a second bedroom, home office, or guest room. The thoughtful floor plan provides both comfort and versatility-perfect for today's lifestyle needs. What sets this residence apart is its scale and opportunity-delivering an uncommon amount of space for the price, along with the ability to thoughtfully update the kitchen and bath to your personal taste. Lovingly maintained by the owner for decades, this is a home that feels warm, cared for, and ready for its next chapter.
Beyond the apartment, the building offers something increasingly rare in New York: a deeply established, full-service community. Residents are supported by 24-hour doormen, a live-in superintendent, and a dedicated staff-many of whom have been with the building for over 40 years-known for their responsiveness, attention to detail, and genuine care. From handling packages to daily interactions, the level of service is both personal and consistent.
Recent capital improvements, including upgraded hallways with new carpeting, lighting, and finishes, reflect ongoing investment and pride of ownership throughout the cooperative.
Amenities further elevate daily living, including:

• An on-site garage with direct elevator access-especially valuable in colder months
• A beautifully appointed rooftop lounge with East River views, ideal for relaxing, reading, or remote work
• A quiet, landscaped garden retreat tucked behind the building
• Laundry, bike storage, and pet-friendly policies

The location captures the very best of the Upper East Side lifestyle. Set on a peaceful, tree-lined block, you're moments from the East River promenade and Carl Schurz Park, offering jogging paths, dog runs, and open green space with water views. Just nearby, John Jay Park features tennis courts, a pool, playgrounds, and outdoor fitness areas.
Daily life is effortless with neighborhood favorites at your doorstep, including Maruzzella, Agata & Valentina, Anita Gelato, Le Moulin à Café, Maman, and PopUp Bagels.
Cultural icons such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum, and Central Park are all within easy reach, along with top-tier medical institutions like NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Lenox Hill Hospital.
Commuting is seamless with the 79th Street crosstown bus nearby, access to the East River Ferry, and proximity to the FDR Drive for quick downtown travel.
This is more than an apartment-it's a home that has been truly lived in, cared for, and cherished. A place to grow, to unwind, and to create lasting memories. Contact me today to schedule a tour of 425 East 79th #8D before it’s too late .
