Property Description
Perfectly situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, this gracious and sun-filled two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at 205 East 78th Street blends refined pre-war charm with thoughtful modern updates. A welcoming entry foyer leads into a generously proportioned west-facing living room, where large windows frame iconic city views and bathe the space in beautiful natural light. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with custom built-in bookshelves and exposed brick, the room is enriched by beamed ceilings and wide-plank chocolate-stained hardwood floors, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The partially open, windowed eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring sleek off-white cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-tier stainless steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele range, new Bosch dishwasher, and a full-size pantry. A shimmering glass tile backsplash adds the perfect finishing touch. The oversized primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with western exposures, electric blinds, and an enormous outfitted walk-in closet (measuring over 12 feet long!) that also houses a new in-unit Miele washer and dryer. The windowed en-suite bath features classic tiling and a glass-enclosed shower. The spacious second bedroom is a serene corner sanctuary with both southern and western light pouring in. Elegant glass-pane doors and a full wall of closets complete the picture. Additional highlights include six outfitted closets, pristine hardwood floors, through-the-wall air conditioning, "city quiet" windows throughout, and windows in every room for exceptional light and cross-ventilation. Built in 1931, 205 East 78th Street is a meticulously maintained prewar cooperative with a full-time doorman, concierge, resident manager, and attentive staff. Amenities include storage units, bike storage, and a modern laundry room. The building permits pieds-á-terre, guarantors, co-purchasing, gifting, and subletting after two years of ownership. Pets are welcome. Monthly electricity is billed at a fixed rate of $159.69 and is not included in the stated maintenance. With Central Park, the Met, Equinox, gourmet grocers, Madison Avenue shopping, and some of the city's finest dining just moments away-not to mention easy access to the 6 and Q trains-Apartment 6EF offers the ultimate Upper East Side living.
