Description

The tranquility of a Country Inn is the best way to describe this spacious home in the prime of the Upper East Side. This rambling south facing duplex offers tremendous flexibility of use...from three bedrooms plus family room...to a fourth bedroom or a formal dining room. Every room presents its own unexpected charm...from the repurposed leaded glass element of the entry closet doors to the stenciled floor of the main hall. A long rectangular living room features inlaid parquet floors and a stately marble mantel surrounding a decorative fireplace with its Minton tiled hearth. The living room, and all the principal rooms, enjoy sun filled streams of light artfully softened thru the waves of the leaded glass window panels that open inward. The main level has two bedrooms and two baths one of which was just updated with the finest materials including a luminous sage green tile from Waterworks. On the main level, you also find a comfortable TV room/den where a large winding staircase leads to the lower level master suite. Once again, the stream of south light thru leaded glass infuses the interior and adds a sense of calm to the room that can be hard to come by in the city. You'll find exceptional closet space in a dressing alcove just off the master bedroom. The master bath features an expansive high countered vanity with a large, farm style, hammered copper sink that adds not only great functionality but a bit of whimsy. There is the opportunity to create a fourth bedroom and install a washer/fryer. 225 East 79th Street is a well maintained full service pre-war building. Forget a place in the country...you can escape to apartment 10B at 225 East 79th Street. Showings begin Thursday 5/30.
