Property Description for 118 West 79th Street, 9-A

CLASSIC SIX SPONSOR UNIT
NO BOARD APPROVAL

Opportunity abounds in this pre-war classic six home. Offering a flexible layout and great natural light, this 3-bedroom 3-bath home can be customized to suit any lifestyle. Welcomed by a grand foyer, there is an excellent flow for entertaining from the dining area to the expansive living area. The light-filled rooms are due to the northern and eastern exposures from multiple windows overlooking West 79th and park views including Museum of Natural History. With 9' ceilings and generously sized rooms, Apartment 9A maintains the pre-war grandeur and charm.

The home is in overall good condition making it ready for its next owner. As a bonus, the apartment has already been updated with custom Citiquiet windows throughout. The floorplan can simply convert to a four-bedroom home (or three larger bedrooms) while preserving a sizable dining space and living room. Additionally, the kitchen can be conjoined with the study to create an enormous gourmet eat-in kitchen and create space for a washer and dryer.

Designed in the Italian Renaissance style by Emery Roth in 1925, 118 West 79 seamlessly incorporates elegance and comfort. With only a few apartments per each floor, there is a general sense of neighborly rapport not found in larger co-ops. Primely located on the famous West 79th Street Museum block, it is steps away from Central Park and Museum of Natural History, along with close proximity to various public transportation, desired schools, and variety of restaurants and boutique shops that line Columbus Avenue. The monthly maintenance includes full-time doorman, windowed fitness room, backyard patio, storage unit, bike storage for a fee, live-in super, and mail delivery service to each apartment.

Sponsor unit so no co-op board approval. Pets, In-unit W/D and central AC are permitted.

Showings by appointment only.

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.
