Description
Opportunity abounds. Sponsor Unit, NO BOARD APPROVAL REQUIRED. Great bones, great history, great location and great light. In 1925 Emery Roth designed this Italian Renaissance style building to incorporate elegance and comfort. Nine foot ceilings, large entry foyer, oversize living spaces, and huge windows create the feel of grandeur. Bright, light-filled rooms with north, west and south exposure. This Classic Six very simply converts to a four bedroom home (or a larger three bedroom) while preserving a sizable dining room and living room. Welcomed by a grand foyer, there is an excellent flow for entertaining from the dining area to the expansive living area with big windows overlooking a double wide street. The kitchen can open into the maid's room to create an enormous gourmet eat-in kitchen which can include a washer and dryer. With only three or four apartments per floor, 118 West 79th street maintains a warm intimacy not found in larger co-ops. Reasonable maintenance includes a 24-hour elevator operator, fitness room, sunny garden, storage unit, bike room, live-in super and mail delivery service to each apartment. Ideally located on the famous West 79th Street Museum block, this home is close to Central Park, public transportation, top schools, restaurants, cafes, and the boutique shops that line Columbus Avenue. OPEN HOUSE Sunday, November 8th 11am-1pm
