For pre-war co-op enthusiasts, this $1,500,000 Upper East Side co-op may fit the bill. The one-bedroom home at 170 East 78th Street has super-tall 13-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling built-ins, with the top shelf accessible via library ladder. The oversized casement windows provide a picture-perfect view of the tree-lined city block below.
The home measures just 1,000 square feet, but feels more spacious due to its split layout. On the first level is a dedicated living and dining room, with stairs leading to the bedroom, bath, and kitchen.
At the end of the hallway is the sunny, windowed kitchen, which has enough space for a small breakfast nook.
The well-proportioned bedroom, measuring 13 feet by nearly 12 feet, has two closets and more built-in shelves. The modern bathroom can be accessed from the bedroom and the hallway. This level conveniently has a Miele washer-dryer.
Designed in 1927 as one of the Morgan Studio buildings for artists, 170 East 78th Street offers 38 co-ops across its nine floors. While no two apartments are alike, all were designed with artists in mind, with high ceilings and oversized windows to let in lots of natural light.
Found near all the best dining, shopping, and art galleries of the East Side, the full-service building offers a doorman, live-in super, and basement storage. Pets and pied-a-terres are welcome with board approval.
