Description
SPONSOR UNIT - NO BOARD APPROVAL
Reimagine and personalize this gracious pre-war residence, thoughtfully designed with a classic layout that seamlessly accommodates both comfortable daily living and elegant entertaining.
A welcoming foyer introduces the home and leads into an inviting, oversized living room highlighted by beamed ceilings and bright southern exposures. The foyer itself offers exceptional flexibility and may be reconfigured as a formal dining area when adapting the layout to create a third bedroom.
The windowed kitchen presents a superb opportunity for customization, with ample space to incorporate a powder room or in-unit laundry. The generously proportioned primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed and features multiple closets and a full en-suite bath. Completing the home are newly installed windows and beautifully refinished hardwood floors throughout.
Located at 171 West 79th Street, this pet-friendly cooperative offers a full-time doorman and live-in superintendent. Positioned on the renowned Museum Block, the building provides effortless access to major transportation and is just moments from the American Museum of Natural History and Central Park, as well as the vibrant dining and boutique shopping along Columbus Avenue.
This is a sponsor unit requiring no board approval. Up to 80% financing is permitted. Apartment is sold as-is. Washer/dryer installation allowed.
Some images have been virtually staged.
Showings by appointment only.
