Property Description for 202 West 78th Street, TH-W

This truly grand townhouse residence was meticulously renovated to tastefully blend the beauty of pre-war 1920s architecture with the new. Restored to the most exacting standards, this home maintains its incredible warmth, while its scale and modern detail take it to a another level.

Contemporary design elements such as sophisticated molding gives an "other era" feel to this already gorgeous property. Upon entering the parlor level, one is immediately struck by ceiling heights that are in excess of 11 feet, its rich oak plank beams that are set off by 8? wide plank oak flooring with 1/4" cork sound prevention below, the decorative fireplace, and the beautiful brick work and molding details. Upgraded, sound proofed windows flank all rooms, allowing beautiful northern and southern light to fill the space. The home offers an expansive custom chef's kitchen, with a center island and professional appliances. This space is perfect for casual entertaining and has ample space for both a formal living room and a dining area.

The bedroom wing offers three thoughtfully designed, well-proportioned bedrooms. The south western facing master bedroom ensuite offers size, finish and scale that is complimented by pin drop quiet and privacy. The master bathroom has spa level finishes, as well as an oversized windowed shower. In addition, the two full bathrooms provide radiant heated flooring.

Great closet space is available throughout the home, and additional storage space is available. The home contains a washer/dryer, is well-equipped with a new central air conditioning system, and is pre-wired for home automation to include a sound system.

Located on bucolic West 78st Street with a secure video intercom access system, this special home is a haven for tranquility and is a short block from all that the heart of the Upper West Side has to offer.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
