This turn-of-the-century treasure has been thoughtfully restored and thoroughly modernized to preserve the historical fabric of the building and create an elegant, modern boutique condominium for the 21st Century.

Solid oak herringbone floors will grace the living area, with plank floors found in the bedroom. The marble bathroom will feature sinks, fittings, and accessories from Waterworks, Stephen Sills custom-designed millwork, and a radiant heated floor. This apartment will also include a vented washer and dryer.
101 West 78th Street is a full-service building with a 24-hour attended lobby. Amenities include a fitness center, children's playroom and bicycle storage. Private storage spaces are also available for purchase. Occupancy will begin in the summer of 2017.
