## Property Overview

This striking four-story townhouse at 226 East 79th Street offers a versatile layout designed to suit virtually any buyer. With a ground-floor office space and an upper triplex, the property lends itself to a live/work arrangement, a live-plus-income setup, or a seamless conversion into a single-family townhouse.

The triplex showcases a magnificent parlor floor, anchored by a spacious front living room and a rear chef's kitchen — an ideal setting for entertaining. The kitchen opens onto a spectacular terrace, with stairs descending to a beautiful garden below.

The second floor is home to a luxurious primary suite featuring a south-facing bedroom, two generous closets, and a full bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi-style tub. Above, the third floor offers a cozy rear bedroom plus an additional bedroom with a connecting office or den in the front, all served by a full bathroom.

The garden-level office enjoys its own separate entrance and can be effortlessly folded back into the main residence. Rounding out the home are a sun-filled, south-facing garden and a finished basement with a full bathroom — thoughtful touches that add to the property's appeal.

Adding to its promise, this exceptional property includes an impressive 15,000 square feet of buildable space, with a FAR of 10 and R10A zoning.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through July 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1014330036. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
