Property Description
ELEGANT 4 BEDROOM HOME WITH PERFECT LAYOUT You don't want to miss this totally renovated expansive home. It boasts a classic layout with a large entryway leading to a massive living room plus a separate formal dining room. You continue to a wing of three bedrooms and three baths. Off the kitchen is another bedroom, a half bath, and a laundry room. The apartment has three exposures, the main one being South, plus windows to the North and East. There are hardwood floors throughout, with the living and dining room enjoying customized wood planks ordered from the Midwest because of their special beauty. The windowed renovated kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and granite counters offers you loads of counter-space and cabinetry - allowing room to prepare for lovely dinners in your especially large dining room and parties in your grand living room. All three and a half bathrooms have been renovated as well. The building, York Towers, is as exceptional as the apartment. 501 East 79th has recently completed a magnificent renovation of the entire fa ade, lobby, elevators and roof-deck. Originally built as a co-op in 1959, it is now one of the most beautiful post-war buildings in the area. Because it was always a cooperative, the developers made the rooms larger, the layouts more gracious, and had fewer apartments per floor, as they were meant to be sold not rented. This co-op has always been a 100% owner occupied building, and owns the commercial space below, which affords it a great deal of income. The maintenance for the shareholders is reasonable and includes all utilities including ELECTRIC. Other features of the building include: a beautiful roof-deck, 24 hour concierge, live-in superintendent, bike storage, central laundry, and is pet and pied-a-terre friendly. There is a private garage with a wait list, and many 24-hour garages in the immediate area. The location is fabulous with excellent restaurants, shopping, food markets, parks, a library, and post office, all within a block or two. Public bus transportation is across the street and subways, the Q and 6, are close as well. No flip tax.
