The brief

The buy-side at Residence 6YZ at 333 East 79th Street — a three-bedroom, three-bath combined-line cooperative in Yorkville on the Upper East Side — closed on August 23, 2018 at $1,630,000 against a $1,690,000 ask. A $60,000 reduction (−3.6%) off the published ask, clean Yorkville-market execution, and a clear-eyed board package that produced first-pass board approval without complication.

The engagement was straightforward in its shape and substantive in what mattered to the client: this was a long-term home acquisition, an upsize from the client's prior two-bedroom into the three-bedroom configuration the brief called for. The combined Y-and-Z line at 333 East 79th Street delivered that configuration cleanly — 6 rooms, 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths — with the Yorkville block-level access, the post-war full-service cooperative amenity stack, and the per-share carrying-cost basis the client's budget supported.

About the apartment

Residence 6YZ combines the Y and Z lines on the sixth floor into one apartment.

333 East 79th Street #6YZ — the combined living-and-dining program with the dining area at left, the seating area at right, and the east-line window exposure delivering city light through the principal entertaining space

The living and dining room has a dining area at one end and seating at the other, with east-facing windows, crown molding and hardwood parquet floors.

About the building

333 East 79th Street is a post-war full-service cooperative in the heart of Yorkville — the Upper East Side residential corridor between Lexington Avenue and East End Avenue, north of the 72nd Street spine. The building's positioning fits the long-term-residence brief cleanly: a substantive doorman-and-amenity service stack, a per-share carrying-cost basis calibrated to this tier of the Upper East Side rather than to the trophy-pricing Park Avenue cooperative cohort, and a block-level position with the neighborhood access the brief requires.

The buyer's cooperative application required review of finances and supporting documents. Approval in this transaction does not establish the result for another applicant.

The result

The client moved from a two-bedroom into the three-bedroom home the brief required, within the planned carrying-cost budget and with board approval completed. The client has remained in residence.
