Property Description for 120 West 78th Street, 4-D
A rare find for terrace lovers, this one-of-a-kind studio boasts an amazing private outdoor space and a light-filled interior that is both warm and inviting. This sunny apartment has a variety of striking turn of the century details, from a beautiful vaulted, tiled ceiling designed by Rafael Guastavino, world-renowned 19th-century Oyster Bar (Grand Central Terminal) architect, to a traditional wood burning fireplace that adds the perfect glow to this exquisitely charming home.
With no wasted space, this roomy loft-like studio enjoys solid gorgeous hardwood floors, large south-facing windows that allow for an abundance of natural light, and tons of storage space in the way of ample cabinetry, a built-in closet and a custom-designed Murphy bed. The recently renovated and generously sized kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances that offer a clean and modern look. The wine cooler adds a touch of class and convenience to the space.
Perfectly situated, 120 West 78th is nestled in the heart of the Upper West Side, surrounded by landmarks, such as the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Historical Society and a collection of colorful brownstones known as the Guastavino Row. Just minutes away from Central Park and steeped in history, this beautiful prewar, 18-unit, 5-story Co-Op benefits from some of the citys finest dining, local eateries, shopping and transportation. Nearby subway lines include B, C, 1, 2, 3.
Do not miss this unique opportunity to own this quiet stunner, full of character. Complete with a private terrace that overlooks the neighboring gardens, the apartment is in move-in condition with a range of building amenities to enjoy. The pet-friendly cooperative affords its residents a beautifully planted common rooftop garden, a half time super and managing agent, a newly upgraded laundry room, storage units and a bicycle room. The board allows for subletting, co-purchasing and pieds-a-terre. Gas, heat and water included in maintenance.

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.
