Property Description
Elegant Prewar Beauty in Exclusive Location! Look no further for the ideal pied-a-terre or sophisticated studio home in a lovely, well-maintained cooperative between Madison and Park Avenues!
With over 11-foot ceilings and oversized, south-facing windows, this charming apartment has excellent light and is located on an elevated first floor off of the beautiful building lobby. With a formal entry foyer, this studio home has a gracious layout and the particularly high ceilings give the home an airy quality and spaciousness not often found in a studio. There is ample room for a full bedroom set and separate living area in the main room. The separate windowed kitchen area off of the entry foyer, is large enough for a proper kitchen and the separation from the main room helps keep cooking smells in the kitchen.
The current owner has used this apartment exclusively as a therapist's office for many years, but the building no longer wishes to have units used as professional offices, so this is a special opportunity to purchase a well-priced home in an exceptional building and location. The new owner will need to install their own kitchen in the location that had once housed a kitchen but was removed by the current owner to be used as a waiting room. The windowed bathroom is a well-maintained original art deco bathroom in excellent condition.
51 East 78th Street is a well-maintained, elevator cooperative with recently refreshed lobby, LOW maintenance, attentive superintendent, and common laundry. Please note this is a non-smoking building. Sorry, pets are not permitted. There is currently an assessment in the amount of $146.76 /month through May 2026.
