40 W 77TH Street #11F

This sun-drenched high-floor three-bedroom home is superbly positioned on a very special and beautiful Museum and Park block, a half block from Central Park in one of the finest coops on the Upper West Side. History is illustrated in the old-world charm as well as the gracious and flowing layout of the home. Sweeping vistas from all of the bedrooms and living room capture wide open views of the extraordinary architectural beauty of the Natural History Museum and the beautiful grounds that surround it, as well as an oblique seasonal perspective of Central Park! Over-sized windows draw in beautiful natural light and expose big blue sky views. Lovingly maintained for decades by the same owners, the home was redesigned in the 80s by top architects, Joseph Mygatt and G. Daniel Perry. Among many honors Mygatt worked with I.M. Pei on many famed projects. The post-modern design opened the formal expanse and eat-in kitchen creating a fabulous flow and is perfectly in step with modern living. Well-planned, the layout allows for large-scale entertaining as well as living with a full bedroom wing. The apartment boasts 3 very spacious bedrooms (or two bedrooms and a den/media room) and 2 baths with an open formal expanse featuring an open living room, dining room and kitchen. The expansive eat-in kitchen offers plenty of space to casually dine and a laundry closet with full-size washer/dryer. The space can be customized to suit individual needs. The wonderful flow of this home is showcased by the well-proportioned rooms, high-beamed ceilings, spectacular open views, and plenty of over-sized windows that deliver lovely natural light. The residence wing is serene and bright with superb open views of the Museum and boasts abundant deep closet/storage space. The very large primary bedroom features two walk-in closets and an en-suite bathroom. The shared hallway presents closet storage and a second full bathroom. All three bedrooms are very spacious and the third bedroom can easily serve as a den-media room as it is currently configured.
