155 East 79th Street, where townhouse living meets modern day design.

Located on the Upper East Side just east of Lexington Avenue, 155 East 79th Street features seven full-floor duplex condominium residences, including one crowning penthouse with a private rooftop terrace. Five bedrooms, five bathrooms and powder room spreading out amongst two floors create some of the most generously proportioned residences on the market at over 4,200 square feet.

The collaborative efforts of BKSK Architects and the design firm of Pembrooke & Ives have resulted in a sequence of enfilade living spaces. Sprawling southern-facing living rooms run the width of the building. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide floods of natural light. Graciously high ceilings of 10 feet are accented by plaster crown moldings. Wood-burning fireplaces are featured in most Living Rooms. Floors consist of stained 5" white oak plank. Generous private balconies provide charming neighborhood views.

The building’s distinguished façade is sheathed in both limestone and brick with ornamental metalwork integrated into the doors and Juliet balconies above. The exquisite wood paneled lobby, adorned with meaningful art and furnishings, is attended by a 24-hour doorman. Additional amenities include a gym, private storage rooms for each residence and a bicycle storage area.
