A Rare, True King-Sized Alcove — Fully Renovated and Completely Turn-Key

Residence 7E is a highly coveted and intelligently designed alcove studio that truly lives like a one-bedroom.
What immediately sets this home apart is its exceptionally ergonomic layout. The architecturally defined sleeping alcove comfortably fits a king-sized bed without intruding on the living space — creating two genuinely separate and functional zones for sleeping and entertaining. This is not a “studio with a nook.” It is a thoughtfully proportioned layout that feels expansive and intentional.

A wall of oversized windows faces north over a picturesque, tree-lined block, delivering soft, natural light throughout the day and enhancing the apartment’s sense of openness and calm.

Renovated just three years ago, the residence is utterly turn-key. The floors have been beautifully redone, the kitchen completely renovated with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and sleek stone countertops, and the bathroom modernized with clean, timeless finishes. Custom millwork and storage solutions maximize both design and function. There is nothing to update, nothing to replace, and no renovations necessary in the slightest — simply move in and enjoy.

Storage is exceptional, including a large walk-in closet off the foyer and an additional dressing/storage area leading into the bath. Plus, an electric fireplace centers the living room, offering a charm and aesthetic that turns this house into a true home.

The Building
200 East 78th Street is widely known for its oversized layouts, wall-to-wall windows, and exceptional closet space. The cooperative enjoys notably low maintenance — supported in part by a long-term retail lease with Gristedes, which offsets operating costs.
Residents benefit from 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, on-site garage, laundry facilities, and bulk cable and electricity rates. The building is just wrapped up its Local Law 11 project, making this an ideal moment to purchase as major exterior has been completed.

Set on a charming, tree-lined Upper East Side block, the location offers immediate access to the 6 train at 77th Street, the Q train at 72nd Street, and the 79th Street crosstown bus. Central Park, the East River Promenade, fine dining, gourmet markets, and boutique shopping are all moments away.

Pets permitted. Guarantors and pied-à-terre considered on a case-by-case basis. Financing up to 70% allowed.

There is a capital assessment of $86.74 a month, which started 2/1/25 for a five year period and an ongoing operating assessment of $86.74 a month.
