Property details
About 201 E 79th St Unit 20Bch
Sophisticated yet inviting, 201 East 79th Street, #20BCH is a thoughtfully renovated five-bedroom, three and a half-bathroom residence on the Upper East Side. Venetian plaster walls, walnut flooring, and custom wood accents add character, while large windows fill the space with natural light and offer open city views. The home's layout was designed for entertaining, which seamlessly flows from a sunlit living area to the expansive eat-in kitchen fitted with top-of-the-line Miele and Thermador appliances, a wine refrigerator, butler's pantry, quartzite countertops, and Corian cabinetry. A discrete home office is hidden close by, and the adjacent dining area offers an intimate yet spacious setting. <br> <br> Each guest bedroom is thoughtfully appointed with built-in desks, custom closets, and large windows with western exposure, ensuring abundant natural light throughout the day. The fifth bedroom has been thoughtfully reimagined as a spacious family room-offering flexibility to suit various needs. The generous primary suite is a tranquil haven, complete with a separate office or dressing area, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring dual vanities and exceptional finishes. Additional conveniences include individually controlled thermostats, new windows, electric shades, and two private storage sheds.<br> <br> Beyond the residence itself, 201 East 79th Street has seen a dramatic renovation in recent years. The building's original glazed brick fa ade, which was built in the early 1960s, had reached the end of its useful life and needed to be completely restored. The Board oversaw a large-scale exterior renovation project that replaced the fa ade with a new, energy-efficient porcelain rainscreen system. Updated insulation, increased waterproofing, and structural reinforcements significantly enhanced the building's appearance and usefulness, ensuring it remains aesthetically pleasing and durable. <br> <br> A full-service, pet-friendly cooperative, the building offers a 24-hour doorman, concierge, package room, resident manager, storage and bike rooms, shared laundry, and an on-site garage. With Central Park, Museum Mile, and some of the city's best dining and shopping just moments away, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy both elevated living and an unbeatable location.<br>
