Property Description
In today's market, discerning buyers are increasingly drawn to homes with distinct character and unparalleled charm--residences that deliver both architectural distinction and the functionality required for modern living, all without compromise. Above all, these homes must be impeccably executed, as buyers today have little appetite for renovation or uncertainty. 205 East 78th Street, Apartment 11L delivers with remarkable ease. This meticulously designed two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence seamlessly balances sophistication, comfort, and practicality. Upon entry, you are greeted by a centripetal foyer that deliberately separates the living and sleeping wings, allowing for privacy or connection whenever desired. Two oversized closets provide exceptional storage from the outset, a consistent amenity throughout. The south-facing living and formal dining rooms are grand in scale and rich in detail, each enhanced by custom millwork, crown moldings, integrated lighting, and bespoke built-ins. The living room is anchored by a captivating wood-burning fireplace with a contemporary marble mantle, bringing warmth and refinement to the space. Designed with entertaining in mind, the formal dining room features a custom-built-in banquette that comfortably accommodates dinner parties of 16 or more. The trophy bespoke built-in bar is a true showpiece-featuring richly veined stone surfaces, artistically crafted millwork, antiqued mirror backing, and floating brass shelving that creates a sophisticated display for spirits, glassware, and collected objects alike. The windowed chef's kitchen is outfitted with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, including a Viking range, SubZero refrigerator, XO wine refrigerator, Summit drink refrigerator and Miele dishwasher, all complemented by stone countertops and a thoughtfully concealed appliance garage. The east-facing primary bedroom suite offers a tranquil retreat, complete with a fully renovated en-suite bathroom, two outfitted standalone closets, and custom built-ins that thoughtfully accommodate additional storage and home office functionality. The south- and east-facing secondary bedroom is equally well proportioned and features two outfitted closets, which may be combined if desired. A fully renovated unattached guest bathroom completes the sleeping wing. Set within one of the Upper East Side's most distinguished Art Deco cooperatives, 205 East 78th Street offers residents an exceptional level of service, flexibility, and convenience. Originally designed by Sugarman & Berger in 1930, this full-service building features a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, attentive staff, laundry room, storage, bike room, and a pet-friendly policy welcoming small pets up to 30 lbs. Remarkably, all utilities are included in the monthly maintenance, offering an uncommon level of ease and value for city living. Perfectly positioned just off Third Avenue and only four blocks from Central Park, residents enjoy immediate access to some of the neighborhood's most beloved destinations, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Fairway, Eataly Caffè, Equinox, and an array of acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and everyday conveniences. Transportation is effortless with nearby access to both the 6 and Q subway lines. The cooperative permits subletting after 5 years of occupancy, pied-à-terres, gifting, co-purchasing, and guarantors, while through-wall air conditioning and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted with board approval-offering a rare combination of architectural pedigree, modern flexibility, and timeless Upper East Side living. Please note there is a monthly capital assessment of $802 through December 2026 and a 2% flip tax (or $20/share - whichever is greater).
