Rarely available 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home adjacent to Park Avenue. The addition of the coveted powder room, a highly desirable feature, offers significant benefits for those who entertain frequently. Although there are new windows and renovated bathrooms, the original parquet floors, beamed ceilings, entrance foyer, and southern townhouse views evoke a decidedly pre-war feel. The eat-in kitchen/dining area, with its two western windows, could be opened to create an expansive loft-like home. The spacious bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed. Located near Central Park, numerous museums, and the best shops and restaurants, 120 East 79th Street is also convenient to public transportation.
