All three and a half bathrooms have been renovated as well. The building, York Towers, is as exceptional as the apartment. 501 East 79th has recently completed a magnificent renovation of the entire fa ade, lobby, elevators and roof-deck. Originally built as a co-op in 1959, it is now one of the most beautiful post-war buildings in the area. Because it was always a cooperative, the developers made the rooms larger, the layouts more gracious, and had fewer apartments per floor, as they were meant to be sold not rented. This co-op has always been a 100% owner occupied building, and owns the commercial space below, which affords it a great deal of income. The maintenance for the shareholders is reasonable and includes all utilities including ELECTRIC. Other features of the building include: a beautiful roof-deck, 24 hour concierge, live-in superintendent, bike storage, central laundry, and is pet and pied-a-terre friendly. There is a private garage with a wait list, and many 24-hour garages in the immediate area. The location is fabulous with excellent restaurants, shopping, food markets, parks, a library, and post office, all within a block or two. Public bus transportation is across the street and subways, the Q and 6, are close as well. No flip tax.
