50 East 79th Street Upper East Side Apartment For Sale

50 East 79th Street, 11BC

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, this three-bedroom, three-bath residence has been masterfully redesigned by BKSK Architects, the firm behind the recent renovation of the storied Surrey Hotel. Handsome interiors by Eric Cohler, whose award-winning ability to meld classic with current earned him the nickname "Mixmaster," pair form with function.
A vestibule entrance with dual closets reveals the gracious oval gallery, a vertex bridging the home's grandly proportioned living spaces and well-appointed private quarters. Gazing over the park are six oversized westward-facing windows spanning the length of the great room, kitchen, and media room, while a quartet more look northward and uptown - inspiring vistas that make even the most ordinary days seem extraordinary. The eat-in kitchen, flanked by a formal dining room on one side and media room with four closets on the other, features a center island and breakfast area, and is outfitted with top-shelf appliances by Viking, Sub-Zero, and Miele. For the ultimate convenience, the apartment has its own large laundry room, fitted with a washer and dryer, counter and hanging space, storage, and a sink.

Located at 79th and Madison just one block from Central Park near the Met and Museum Mile, 50 East 79th Street is a coveted doorman building boasting an attended lobby, state-of-the-art fitness center, and an on-site parking garage with discounted rates for shareholders, subject to availability, along with a bike room, storage, and a spacious laundry room. The co-op permits one dog per residence.

Available individually or in combination with 12C upstairs to create a spectacular duplex, 11BC comes with two storage units, with a third included if purchased with 12C. Buyer will pay 2% flip tax; up to 65% financing permitted.
