205 E 78th Street #6EF Manhattan, NY 10075

Perfectly situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, this gracious and sun-filled two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at 205 East 78th Street blends refined pre-war charm with thoughtful modern updates.

A welcoming entry foyer leads into a generously proportioned west-facing living room, where large windows frame iconic city views and bathe the space in beautiful natural light. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with custom built-in bookshelves and exposed brick, the room is enriched by beamed ceilings and wide-plank chocolate-stained hardwood floors, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere ideal for both entertaining and everyday living.

The partially open, windowed eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring sleek off-white cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-tier stainless steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele range, new Bosch dishwasher, and a full-size pantry. A shimmering glass tile backsplash adds the perfect finishing touch.

The oversized primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with western exposures, electric blinds, and an enormous outfitted walk-in closet (measuring over 12 feet long!) that also houses a new in-unit Miele washer and dryer. The windowed en-suite bath features classic tiling and a glass-enclosed shower.

The spacious second bedroom is a serene corner sanctuary with both southern and western light pouring in. Elegant glass-pane doors and a full wall of closets complete the picture.

Additional highlights include six outfitted closets, pristine hardwood floors, through-the-wall air conditioning, “city quiet” windows throughout, and windows in every room for exceptional light and cross-ventilation.

Built in 1931, 205 East 78th Street is a meticulously maintained prewar cooperative with a full-time doorman, concierge, resident manager, and attentive staff. Amenities include storage units, bike storage, and a modern laundry room. The building permits pieds-à-terre, guarantors, co-purchasing, gifting, and subletting after two years of ownership. Pets are welcome. Monthly electricity is billed at a fixed rate of $159.69 and is not included in the stated maintenance.

With Central Park, the Met, Equinox, gourmet grocers, Madison Avenue shopping, and some of the city's finest dining just moments away—not to mention easy access to the 6 and Q trains—Apartment 6EF offers the ultimate Upper East Side living.
