Property Description for 316 West 79th Street, 4-E
316 West 79th St, 4E - Unparalleled "Unclassic" Seven
Schwartz and Gross were arguably the most prolific architects in the city during the years leading up to the first World War. Their contribution to the landscape of the Upper West Side is singular - having left their mark on modest middle-class tenement buildings and luxurious limestone towers alike. The Kelmscott, sitting proudly on 79th Street, a mere stone's throw to Riverside Park, represents their best work - an entire building of voluminous apartments with extra-high ceilings, oversized windows, gracious proportionality, and beautiful plaster detailing and Apartment 4E epitomizes this achievement!
The elevator opens to an intimate landing with only two apartments per floor and, stepping inside, one immediately sees a sweep of three stunning public rooms. Originally constructed as a side-by-side Living Room and Library, the newly conceptualized open "Front Room" has gloriously tall windows allowing for ample northern light to flow through the apartment - along with the streetscape and oblique river views. The Front Room flows immediately through to the baronial Formal Dining Room and oversized updated Kitchen and Pantry with washer/dryer. This collective suite of public rooms is quite simply sumptuous! Stretching down a corridor - more reminiscent of a Victorian home than an apartment - is a series of three private bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms (the 1/2 bath can easily be restored back to a full bath). The bathrooms are updated in a simple and serene aesthetic and the bedrooms are each gracious with beautifully restored plank flooring and incongruously spacious closets for the era.
Most strikingly, the apartment has an incredible "feel" - a word too often used in real estate but thoroughly fitting in this case - the soaring ceilings, rich plaster detailing, beautiful transoms and French door casements, and elaborately mantled fireplace add a certain layer of grandeur that simply must be seen to be appreciated. With that in mind, do come and see it for yourself!
316 West 79th Street is a pet-friendly building featuring a part-time doorman (4pm -12am) and live-in superintendent, a landscaped roof-deck, laundry room, bike room, and a general storage area.

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.
