Every bit of Unit 5E’s 1,400 sq ft of interior space is thoughtfully designed to make the optimal use of the generous layout – there’s a place for everything, and still more than enough room to stretch your wings.

As you enter the home, you’re welcomed by the 22’-long, nearly 9’-wide foyer, lined with a deep closet and the first of several handmade built-in Wolf cabinets. The foyer opens up into the sprawling living/dining area, where East-facing windows spill natural light onto parquet floors. Here you’ll find 23’ of Wolf cabinetry, including a decorative fireplace with discrete wall space above the mantel for a large TV. This built-in is enhanced with glass doors, three lighted bookshelves, and a retractable desk. Around the corner are glass French doors leading to the impeccably appointed galley kitchen. The stainless steel appliances are situated within modern white bespoke Wolf cabinetry (including a slide-out pantry) for a bright, clean feeling, while the stone flooring, quartz countertops, and glass tile backsplash bring a touch of earthy warmth. This whole section of the apartment is ideal for entertaining, whether it’s fancy dinner parties or raucous game nights.

On the other side of the apartment are the two spacious bedrooms, each with wide West-facing windows. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet as well as its own custom Wolf built-in and an en-suite bathroom. Adjacent is the second bedroom, with its own exceptionally deep closet. Both full baths are set apart by their Porcelanosa tile walls, and the second bath boasts an oversized walk-in glass shower.

501 East 79th Street is a full-service luxury co-op in the heart of Yorkville on the UES. It’s only three blocks from Carl Schurz Park and the East River. Amenities include a full-time doorman, a live-in super, a landscaped roof deck, a package room, a bike room, and a garage. Electricity and basic cable are included in the maintenance. Pets and pied-a-terres are welcome.
