A true three-bedroom and two-bathroom plus office, with the space, storage and renovation to make every room count. FULL GUT RENOVATION FINISHED 10/2024 Residence 15D is a beautifully renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that all the spaces have been exceptionally well considered. At the center of the apartment is a 25-foot living and dining room and the renovated kitchen is open to the entertaining space and finished with sleek cabinetry, stone countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a full-size refrigerator. The primary suite has an en-suite renovated bathroom and exceptional custom storage, and a second bedroom has a private office with additional custom closets. The third bedroom is also large enough for a queen bed, with a shared renovated bathroom. The owners really created a home with a dedicated place to work without sacrificing a bedroom. Storage was treated as part of the architecture rather than an afterthought. Closets and custom cabinetry have been integrated throughout the apartment, allowing the rooms themselves to remain open and uncluttered. Hardwood floors run throughout, and the northern exposure brings natural light into the home. The building allows for an in-unit washer and dryer with board approval, & there is a large laundry room in the basement. The Gregory House at 440 East 79th Street is a full-service Upper East Side co-op with a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, landscaped and furnished roof deck (one of the best in NYC), fitness center, bike room, package room and an attached parking garage (separately managed). The building is pet-friendly and currently permits pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, gifting and subletting, subject to board policies and approval. The location makes being east work particularly well. Set on 79th Street between First and York, the building is close to the East River and John Jay Park, with Carl Schurz Park and its waterfront paths just a few blocks north. Agata & Valentina is nearby for everyday shopping, while the M79 provides direct crosstown access and the Q at 72nd and 86th Streets and the 6 at 77th Street connect the neighborhood to the rest of Manhattan.
