Description

Enormous 2-bedroom or perfect convertible-3 with 2 full bathrooms and a W/D on one of the Upper West Side's best blocks! This sprawling, south-facing, sun-filled home is located in an immaculate prewar cooperative with a gorgeous facade and beautiful marble lobby. This trophy home is wonderfully quiet and boasts open city views and gorgeous natural light. The elegant entrance gallery flows seamlessly into the home's oversize living room, which is enhanced by high beamed ceilings, beautiful bay windows, and the home's stunning hardwood herringbone floors. Off of the living room is the large formal dining room, which can easily convert into a 3rd bedroom. The home's windowed kitchen flaunts all stainless steel appliances, a washer/dryer, and cabinetry galore. Both of the home's two bedrooms have extremely generous proportions, and both of the home's two full bathrooms are windowed and boast lovely granite countertops. The home is further enhanced by abundant closet space and charming moldings. With just four units per floor, 215 West 78th Street is a pet-friendly prewar building with a lovely common garden, laundry facilities, bike room, package delivery room, private basement storage (space is allocated to every apartment), resident super, full-time porter, and zoning for PS 87. The building is perfectly positioned equidistant from both Central Park and Riverside Park, half a block from both the 1 train and the crosstown bus, and just a short stroll to Fairway Market, Citarella, Zabar's, the American Museum of Natural History, and all the very best that the Upper West Side has to offer!
