39 East 79th Street

Monthly Maintenance: $23,927

This magnificent 7,200+/- square foot, high-floor triplex with breathtaking Central Park views combines the grandeur of a townhouse with the services and security of a white-glove cooperative. The crown jewel of the residence: a soaring living room with double-height coffered ceilings overlooking Central Park and the beautiful, landmarked townhouses of East 79th Street. Formerly the personal ball room of the Dutch Ambassador, the space has since feted presidents, celebrities, and Nobel Prize laureates. The building is an exquisite example of pre-war architecture, just as etiquette authority Emily Post intended when she commissioned the Cooperative in 1926. This pristine apartment has had a recent renovation and is in mint condition, with beautifully finished kitchens and baths.

Accessed via a private elevator landing and a grand set of custom mahogany doors, the apartment features:

• 9 bedrooms: 8 en-suite family Bedrooms, each with extensive custom cabinetry; plus a first floor en-suite staff Bedroom.
