Description

Generously proportioned move-in ready 3 bedroom, 3 and a half bathroom residence with sunny triple exposures.

A proper foyer welcomes you into Apartment 5A, inviting you into the residence’s main entertaining spaces: the living room, kitchen, and dining room. The south facing capacious living room with exceptional natural light showcases gleaming hardwood floors and contemporary built-ins, as does the generous formal dining room with enough space to accommodate seating for 8-12 people. The kitchen features neutral tile flooring, ideally complementing the gray tile backsplash, white cabinetry, and cool toned granite countertops.

The stainless steel kitchen appliance suite includes a full size dishwasher, French door refrigerator, built-in microwave, and gas range/oven. Additional features of Apartment 5A include a fourth windowed flex room, currently used as an office, as well as an updated powder room and a dedicated laundry room with full size stacking washer/dryer and
additional storage.

Three carpeted bedrooms are located on the east side of the apartment, separated from the entertaining spaces for true quiet privacy.

They are all of generous size, with the primary and secondary bedrooms both having dedicated ensuite bathrooms and corner exposures. The third full bathroom is located just outside of the third south-facing bedroom within this private enclave. The powder room located just off of the kitchen is ideal for guest use, further maintaining the privacy of Apartment 5A’s residents.

Abundant storage, attractive millwork, and recessed lighting is found throughout.

Situated on the northeast corner of York Avenue and 79th Street, 501 East 79th Street is a full service cooperative built in 1959 featuring spacious apartments, ideal layouts, and reasonable maintenance inclusive of all utilities. Building amenities include a full time doorman, live-in super, landscaped roof deck, central laundry room, on-site parking (waitlist), and bike storage.

Pied-a-terres are welcome and the building is pet friendly. Subletting is not allowed, maintaining 501 East 79th Street’s distinction as 100% owner occupied. The building owns the commercial space on the ground floor, further contributing to the low attractive maintenance.

Shareholders benefit from reasonable maintenance fees, which cover all utilities, including electricity. No flip tax.
