Apartment 16B at 205 East 78th Street is superbly positioned in a prime Upper East Side location in one of the area's well-regarded full-service prewar cooperatives. This bright and quiet high-floor one-bedroom home offers generous proportions, bright rooms, city views, and exceptional potential. Newly painted and move-in ready, the apartment provides the perfect canvas for a buyer seeking to personalize their new home.
A gracious entry foyer with a large coat closet welcomes you into an expansive nearly 25-foot living room providing plenty of space for dining. Charming prewar details include hardwood floors, high-beamed ceilings, built-in open bookshelves, and crown and baseboard moldings throughout. Oversized windows draw in plentiful natural light while showcasing city views from the living room. The apartment features through-wall air conditioning.
The spacious king-sized bedroom enjoys beautiful light, excellent closet space, and a windowed, original en-suite bathroom that retains its prewar character and is in excellent condition with original subway tile, mosaic tile floor, and pedestal sink.
For those with a vision, the possibilities are endless. Whether reimagining the kitchen, updating finishes, or undertaking a more comprehensive renovation, this residence offers a rare chance to create a truly customized home in a premier Upper East Side location. As an added benefit, the current owner, an accomplished interior designer whose work has been featured in Architectural Digest and Elle Décor, is offering a free design consultation to the purchaser, should they wish to take advantage of his expertise while planning future enhancements.
