Would you enjoy living in the eighteen-story glass tower at 300 East 79th? If you like the idea of living on a tree-lined street with some of the best shopping in Manhattan little more than a jog away, then you probably would. If you like spending the evenings wandering the local coffee houses or watching a jazz band perform, you would definitely enjoy it here. And your family is sure to appreciate the proximity of Central Park and the Carl Schurz Park.

The interiors of 300 East 79th speak in a whisper, being neither ornate nor barren. Eleven-foot ceilings make the homes expansive and airy. Sleek designs adorn the master bath and kitchen, with the stainless steel kitchen appliances and backdrops appealing to those with an “everything in its place” mentality. The master bath is light and cozy, marble countertops blending well with porcelain penny tile walls and floor. Elsewhere, walnut flooring adds a subtle charm to the home, and residents can choose an optional Creston Home automation package for full control.

In terms of amenities, 300 East 79th offers its residents a little bit of everything. An entertainment suite on the second floor is the focal point of the building, and boasts a 700 square-foot fitness center, a children’s playroom and a washing area for oversized laundry. And while waiting for their laundry, the landscaped terrace offers residents tranquility and warmth with its own outdoor fireplace.

For a little bit extra, residents have the option to add on comprehensive concierge service by Procierge; who wouldn’t want their every need met with compassion and thorough attention? Life is complicated enough without worrying about getting that impossible dinner reservation, making childcare arrangements at the last minute or trying to find a round-trip ticket at the most reasonable price. Procierge’s professionals can help with this and much more.

300 East 79th is being marketed by Corcoran Sunshine, one of the premier names in the real estate industry. Many of its forty units are still available, but they’re moving fast. A variety of floor plans and sizes make this a nice place for those looking for an adaptable residence. The units are mainly one and two-bedroom condos, but a four-bedroom, four-bath unit shakes things up a bit. Square footage ranges from 814 for the one bedroom condo to 1,364 for a larger two-bedroom unit. The two penthouses are priced at $5.4 million and $5.7 million for nearly 2500 square feet of living space; if you don’t care about the elite status of owning a penthouse, the four-bedroom unit is larger and less expensive ($4.8 million for 2,664 square feet). Other units range from just over $1 million to just over $2 million. The building was developed by 1510 Second Avenue, LLC, the real estate investment firm attached to the Sears Tower in Chicago.
