Description
Residence 3A at 101 West 78th Street is one of the largest 4 bedroom/3.5 bath (approx 4050 sq ft) condominiums on the Upper West Side. This sprawling, sunny and renovated southeast corner home with 10’6 ceilings and elegant herringbone floors is located in a boutique, full-service prewar condominium on one of the most desirable streets. The immense living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen and primary bedroom overlook the Museum of Natural History and its landscaped park, through seven tall ( 6’ 10”) east-facing windows. Graced with exceptional proportions in every room, chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, formal dining room, large primary suite, central air and a proper laundry room, this apartment is a true rarity. The spacious entry foyer leads to a 22’ gallery that graciously connects the east-facing dining room to the sunny living room which wraps the southeast corner. This grand 27’ living room has 2 windows facing east over the Museum Park and 3 facing south, providing lovely light and pretty tree top views of 78th Street. The chef’s kitchen has a dining area near the window, furnished with a banquette and table that comfortably seats 6. Outfitted with marble countertops, custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line Miele appliances including a 6-burner vented stove with pot-filler, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and separate freezer, this kitchen is the perfect spot for casually dining or preparing meals for large gatherings. A wet bar with wine fridge and additional storage further enhances this space. The secluded east-facing primary suite, measuring 14’ 3” x 17’ 8”, has two fully outfitted, oversized dressing closets and a huge luxurious ensuite bath with heated floors, double sinks, a soaking tub, and oversized glass shower. A bedroom hallway on the other side of the apartment nicely separates the 3 additional bedrooms from the public rooms. Two of the bedrooms face south onto 78th Street, have outfitted closets and share a spacious windowed bath and the enormous third bedroom has two south-facing windows, 3 large closets, and an ensuite bath with marble glass shower, tiled floors, and a linen closet. Also housed in this wing is a substantial laundry room with ample storage, additional sink and LG washer/dryer and a mud room with coat closet and the service entrance. Built in 1866 by Emile Gruwe, 101 West 78th Street is a landmarked, full-service condominium that was expertly reimagined by Stephen Sills, an AD 100 designer, in 2017. The building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, children’s playroom, bicycle storage, stroller room, and cold storage. Situated one block from Central Park and across from the Museum of Natural History, this home is ideally located near popular restaurants, cafes, and boutiques, including Essential by Christophe, Nice Matin, Miriam, Clara, Café Luxembourg, and Daily Provisions. With its perfect blend of classic elegance and modern luxury, residence 3A is the perfect spot to call home.
