This gracious residence is in a boutique, full service prewar cooperative. 170 East 78th Street is a small, 28-unit building with a resident manager and full-time doorman service. It is located on one of the most beautiful blocks of the Upper East Side, lined with many beautiful townhouses as well as blossoming trees, each graced with lush, floral plantings below.
The Lexington Avenue #6 train is one block away as is bus service, both up, down and cross-town. Nearby are Citarella's, Eli's and Buttefield's gourmet markets as well as Patisserie Chanson. The neighborhood has numerous fine restaurants, including Sushi Noz, one of the more exclusive Japanese restaurants in the city. Central Park is a quick four-block walk away.
The cooperative permits 50% financing, pets and pied-a-terres with board approval, and has private storage bins. There is a 2.5% Flip Tax to be paid by the buyer and a five-year Capital Assessment covering the current Local Law 11 work and the newly installed passenger elevator.
