Property Details
Description
Feast your eyes on the panoramic Northern city views from this 12th floor beautifully renovated 2 bedroom home that glows in the sun from morning to night. Elegant prewar features like high beamed ceilings and impeccably restored original inlaid basket weave floors are flawlessly blended with the new features such as through-wall AC and top of the line Viking and Liebherr appliances - all in keeping with the classic timeless design you’d expect to find in this distinguished, well-run Upper West Side co-op. The entry foyer leads you to an expansive open kitchen, with white lacquered solid wood cabinetry, counter space for days, a full sized vented washer-dryer, and a large window facing West. Past the honed calacatta marble breakfast bar is a dining area for 6, and then a generously proportioned living and entertaining space overlooking the Upper West Side. Floor to ceiling pocket doors slide open to reveal a second bedroom, or media room/guest room/library, creating a dramatic double-wide space for a truly gracious flow of living. When closed, the spacious room can be entered off the bedroom hallway for a private sleeping space. The corner primary bedroom has been outfitted with a full wall of extra deep closets for impressive storage, through the wall ACs, and the same sparkling city views as the rest of the home. The windowed primary bathroom and powder room were recently renovated with prewar luxury in mind, both featuring exquisite mosaic floors. 171 West 79th Street is situated on one of the most beloved blocks on the West Side. Positioned between Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, Broadway and the Hudson River- you will enjoy every aspect and convenience of this ideal location. Built in 1924, 171 offers the convenience of a residential building manager, bike storage, and a doorman on site from 8am to midnight. Pets and pied a terres are permitted.
