425 East 79th Street Upper East Side Apartment For Sale

Classic Scale, Endless Light, and Opportunity on UES

Tucked at the end of a beautifully renovated hallway, Residence 6E offers classic, grand proportions in a well-established Upper East Side full-service co-op.

This three-bedroom, two-bath home enjoys multiple exposures and abundant natural light throughout the day, presenting an exciting opportunity to re-create a special home within an elegant footprint.

A generous foyer opens to a bright, expansive living room with access to a private balcony through the original wood-framed door fitted with cylinder glass- a charming remnant of the building\'s early character. The living room features a pair of recessed wall niches that provide a refined display space for art or greenery.

The well-scaled floor plan includes a defined dining area comfortably accommodating a 6- to 8-person table, a windowed kitchen, and three spacious bedrooms, including a corner suite overlooking the building\'s planted rear courtyard and open air between neighboring structures, creating an unexpectedly peaceful backdrop.

The primary bedroom, with en-suite bath and closet, overlooks the full-width south-facing balcony and beyond to 79th Street. Each bathroom retains original details that can be preserved as part of a refresh, and multiple walk-in closets provide excellent storage throughout.

With renovated common areas, newer Frigidaire in-window A/C units, and an exceptionally quiet end-of-hallway position, Residence 6E is ideal for those seeking a full renovation opportunity.

Built in 1955, the cooperative comprises 186 units across 14 stories. Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident superintendent, bike room, private storage, a planted courtyard garden, a furnished roof deck overlooking the neighborhood, and an on-site garage.

The building offers a strong foundation for the next owner to bring this home to life. 425 East 79th Street is moments from Agata & Valentina Market, Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, and the Second Avenue Subway.

Please Note: There is a 12-month elevator modernization assessment ending in 2026 ($542 monthly charge).
