Thoughtful luxury meets the timeless Upper East Side idyll at 50 East 79th Street 11BC, a remarkable home designed to maximize the most coveted of New York City amenities: space and light.

Graced with corner exposure and Central Park views to the west, showcasing beautiful sunsets from the Beresford to the San Remo to the Dakota, thisthis large three bedroom, easily converted to a four bedroom, and three bath residence has been masterfully redesigned by BKSK Architects, the firm behind the recent renovation of the storied Surrey Hotel.
