Scale, Serenity & Sophistication at 109 East 79 Exceptional design, extraordinary craftsmanship, and a coveted Upper East Side location come together at Residence 4N, a gracious 2,741-square-foot half-floor residence at 109 East 79. Set just off Park Avenue on a beautiful tree-lined block and only two blocks from Central Park, this sophisticated three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home offers grand proportions, remarkable architectural detail, and peaceful northern exposures overlooking landmarked townhouses and lush landscaped gardens. A private entry leads to an elegant gallery and an expansive living and dining room stretching nearly 38 feet, where three large-scale casement-style windows frame picturesque garden and townhouse views. Approximately 10-foot ceilings enhance the sense of scale and volume, while 4-inch-wide rift and quarter-sawn American white oak floors laid in a striking chevron pattern, white-bronze casement windows, custom plaster cornices, paneled doors, and burnished nickel Nanz hardware bring exceptional craftsmanship throughout. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen designed for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. Hand-painted custom Italian cabinetry with polished nickel trim is paired with honed Imperial Danby marble countertops and backsplashes, while a marble dining bar offers seating for four. Professional-grade appliances include a Wolf five-burner cooktop, wall oven, speed oven, and fully vented range hood; Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine refrigerator; and Miele dishwasher. An adjoining pantry and laundry room provides additional storage, a sink, wine refrigeration, and a high-capacity LG washer and dryer vented to the exterior. The serene primary suite enjoys garden views and features a dressing room with an oversized walk-in closet. Its luxurious bath is wrapped in honed Olympic Danby stone and includes a Da Vinci freestanding soaking tub, custom acid-etched mirror vanity, integrated illuminated medicine cabinets, and a separate nickel-framed fluted-glass shower. Two additional bedrooms are generously proportioned and ensuite. Particularly compelling is the third bedroom, where a pocket door allows the room to open directly to the main living space. Used as a bedroom, library, den, or home office, it can create more than 48 feet of contiguous entertaining space overlooking the gardens, offering unusual flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living. The same attention to detail continues in the powder room, with a floating vanity, honed Maya quartzite, custom integral sink, and Dornbracht fittings. Additional features include custom closets throughout, pre-wiring for home automation, pre-wired shade pockets in every room, individually zoned VRF heating and cooling, and electric shades in the primary bedroom. 109 East 79 brings significant architectural pedigree to the Upper East Side.
