Property Description for 118 West 79th Street, 7-B
SPONSOR UNIT, NO BOARD APPROVAL.Just Listed Classic Six!
Opportunity abounds. .Great bones, great history, great location and great light. In 1925 Emery Roth designed this Italian Renaissance style building to incorporate elegance and comfort. Nine foot ceilings, large entry foyer, oversize living spaces, and huge windows create the feel of grandeur. Bright, light-filled rooms with north, west and south exposure.
This Classic Six very simply converts to a four bedroom home (or a larger three bedroom) while preserving a sizable dining room and living room. Welcomed by a grand foyer, there is an excellent flow for entertaining from the dining area to the expansive living area with big windows overlooking a double wide street. The kitchen can open into the maid's room to create an enormous gourmet eat-in kitchen which can include a washer and dryer.
With only three or four apartments per floor, 118 West 79th street maintains a warm intimacy not found in larger co-ops. Reasonable maintenance includes a 24-hour elevator operator, fitness room, sunny garden, storage unit, bike room, live-in super and mail delivery service to each apartment.
Ideally located on the famous West 79th Street Museum block, this home is close to Central Park, public transportation, top schools, restaurants, cafes, and the boutique shops that line Columbus Avenue.

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.
