310 W 79TH Street #12E

On the market for the first time in over 35 years, Apartment 12E is the crowning jewel of 310 W. 79th Street! Personifying pre-war charm, the real show stoppers of this top floor approx. 2,200 square foot 3 bed, 2 bath home are the breathtaking views from every single room. The Hudson River and Riverside Park are enjoyed unobstructed from the impressive living room through towering windows and glass French doors. In addition to the stunning river and park views, city views are captured from every room. Entered from your naturally lit semi-private elevator landing, characteristic of circa 1910 architecture, you immediately experience the unique volume of the space. Accentuated by the high ceilings, the double-sized great room is what entertainers dream of and is flanked by a large, wood paneled formal dining room. An updated windowed chef's kitchen allows for comfortable meandering from one room to the next. Art Gallery style hallways separate the living areas from the bedroom wing. With beautiful moldings, hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace and full-sized washer/dryer, this veritable treasure blends classic New York lifestyle with modern Soho loft airiness. The Hereford is a boutique elevator building comprised of only 33 units. It is proximate to the Boat Basin in Riverside Park, moments from the crosstown bus, 1.5 blocks to the subway and around the corner from grocery stores and restaurants on Broadway. The building features an impressive limestone base, beautiful brickwork, cornice, wrought iron balconies and large arched windows. The live-in resident manager will handle packages and the building offers a central laundry room (in addition to the laundry in the apartment) and bicycle storage. Pets welcomed. Use of storage bin transfers with the apartment depending on waiting list.
