This rarely available high-floor, sun-filled, move-in ready, Classic Six, situated in the heart of the Upper Westside absolutely has it all. This home has been updated for today's living while maintaining its pre-war charm. Upon entering the gallery, you are greeted by a sun-filled home with northern light from the two large living room windows and western light from the three windows in the open kitchen/dining room. The living room is a gracious proportion at 19'6 x 13'4, and maintains elegant pre-war details, such as beamed ceilings, picture rails and dark parquet floors. The living room flows beautifully into the open kitchen/dining room, which has been perfectly designed for both entertaining and daily living. The dining area provides space for a table that can comfortably seat eight, and the large kitchen island is complete with seating for casual dining. The windowed kitchen, is beautifully outfitted with cabinets, a six-burner Wolf stove, Miele dishwasher and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The open flow makes the living areas feel loft-like, and glass French doors allow for flexibility and give another nod to the pre-war details. Next to the kitchen is a western facing den, which can even serve as a third bedroom, with a beautifully integrated two piece bathroom. It is important to note, there is through-the-wall air conditioning in most rooms and a full-size washer and dryer tucked away off the kitchen. On the other side of the home is a private wing, with two large bedrooms and two full baths. The bright corner master is flooded with sun from both the north and west through its double exposure. This generous primary bedroom is complete with two closets and an en-suite windowed bath with shower. A second bedroom with north exposure has two ample closets and easy access to the hall bathroom, which has a tub. This home is located at 164 West 79th Street, which is a beautiful pre-war co-operative built in the neo-Renaissance style by George Pelham in 1924. The coveted building has a full-time, live-in superintendent, a doorman serving each day from noon to midnight, a children's playroom, a beautiful planted roof deck with stunning city views, a common laundry room, bike storage and private storage bins (when available). Pets are welcomed with a Board approval.
