Welcome to apartment 10B in the prestigious prewar coop, 136 East 79th Street, located between Park and Lexington Avenues. This elegant and sophisticated apartment wows from the moment you enter its marble entry foyer.

The formal dining room has a custom banquette typical of French bistros in Paris, also with sunny southern exposures, and a renovated kitchen and pantry. At the far end is a home office or guest bedroom, powder room and laundry.
The apartment features an incredible corner primary suite comprised of 2 bedrooms, one which is now a wonderful dressing room, a stunning marble bathroom with a stand up shower and separate soaking tub, plus a second bathroom which also acts as a powder room off the library. Lastly there is another bedroom and full bath on this wing of the apartment.
