127 West 79th Street, 9-F

This eight-room, four-bedroom residence is now available for sale. It recently received a complete renovation, and now offers a thoughtful blend of pre-war details and modern convenience, all framed by expansive, open views and generous day-round sunlight, thanks to a full wall of north-facing windows and two corner exposures.

The apartment's entry foyer has been refinished with a new bluestone landing, and reconfigured to incorporate an adjacent coat closet and powder room. The eat-in kitchen has been completely redone to offer new appliances, fixtures, faucets, and plumbing. It features a new Wolf 8-burner stove with two ovens, Wolf stove hood, Subzero fridge, full-size wine fridge, Miele dishwasher, and new custom cabinetry. The double living room and formal dining room are framed by open North city views, custom bookshelves and built-in filing cabinets, and extra-wide doorways. Every bathroom has been completely redone, including fixtures, finishes and plumbing. New wood doors with specialized hardware are found throughout the apartment, and most closets feature custom interiors. All hardwood flooring in the apartment has been refinished (wherever possible) or replaced with new, matching boards. All air-conditioning units have been replaced with brand-new, through-wall Friedrich units.

Clifton House is an Italian Renaissance palazzo-style prewar building, ideally situated within sight of the Natural History Museum. All hallways in the building are newly-renovated.

The building's services include a 24/7 doorman, live-in super, a beautiful common roof deck, central laundry, and bike room. Pets are welcome. It is two short blocks to Central Park, close to the B, C, 1, 2 & 3 trains and many bus lines, and a weekly farmer's market just down the block.
