Overview of 156 East 79th Street

156 East 79th Street is a prewar building in the heart of the Upper East Side, completed in 1915 and converted to a full-service cooperative in 1967. The attentive staff includes 24-hour doormen, service elevator operators, and a live-in resident manager. Amenities include a bike room, central laundry room, and large storage cages.

Carter’s Review

"This pleasant, beige-brick, 14-story apartment building was erected in 1915 and is a cooperative with 65 units. The coop allows 50% financing and has a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, and private storage. 

The mid-block building has a canopied entrance and a half-story gray granite base and a two-story arched entrance with foliate decoration. The building has some handsome window reveals on the second story, a doorman and protruding air-conditioners. It has no garage, no balconies, no sidewalk landscaping and no health club. Pied-a-terre and pets OK and washer/dryer allowed with board approval. "
