The windowed white kitchen was recently renovated and offers top-of-the line appliances. It has excellent counter and storage space with a large pantry, beautiful quartz countertops, marble backsplash and tiled floors. Best of all, there is a stacked WASHER AND DRYER, which vents out of the building. The entire apartment boasts brand new 8"wide hard-wood plank floors.

501 East 79th Street has recently completed a magnificent renovation of the entire facade, 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 co-op, the developers made the room sizes 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 very reasonable and all utilities, INCLUDING
ELECTRIC, are included in the monthly maintenance.

Features of the building: 24 hour concierge, live-in superintendent, beautiful roof-deck, bike storage, central laundry. Pet and pied-a-terre friendly. There is a private garage with a waiting list (only about 25 spots) and there are many 24 hour garages on the block. The location is fabulous and convenient with great restaurants, food markets, public transportation, parks, library, and post-office all less than a block away. No flip tax.
