3 East 77 Street   Unit 12C

Spacious and elegant, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is located in one of Manhattan’s finest prewar co-operative buildings. Built in 1928, 3 East 77th Street (and 960 Fifth Avenue) is a testament to the enduring appeal of pre-war New York architecture and represents one of Rosaro Candela’s finest architectural achievements. Situated on the enviable corner of 77th Street and Fifth Avenue, 3 East 77th Street blends the prestige of a Fifth Avenue location with the intimate charm of a side street building.
This high floor corner apartment enjoys sunny north and east exposures and provides beautiful city views by day and by night with an airy spacious feel. Enter Apartment 12C into a charming square entryway flowing into a gracious and inviting living room with large windows. Original details abound including a fireplace, high ceilings and hardwood floors. There are two generous bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and an abundance of closets throughout. The windowed kitchen has excellent storage and the potential to add a washer dryer if desired (with Board approval).
Adjacent to Apartment 12C is a one-bedroom apartment (Apartment 12D) which is also currently being offered for sale, creating a rare opportunity to combine Apartments 12C and 12D into a spacious three-bedroom and three-bathroom residence with a Living Room, Formal Dining Room or Library and separate Laundry Room. Several “C” and “D” line apartments have been previously combined in the building. See the attached floorplan for an example of this potential combination.
3 East 77 Street is distinguished from other pre-war cooperatives by its plethora of amenities which cater to the most discerning buyer. The private restaurant with in-house chef, aptly named The Candela after the building’s renowned architect, provides gourmet meals from a large menu to be enjoyed in the private dining room or delivered to the apartment and is the ultimate in convenience and luxury dining experience. (Quarterly dining room fee is $1,750). Additionally, the building offers a stunning roof-top fitness room with state-of-the-art equipment and a well-appointed roof top terrace, both of which enjoy panoramic city views. The building’s live-in resident manager and attentive staff reflect 3 East 77th Street’s commitment to excellent service creating the ultimate symmetry of comfort and luxury for its residents.
