100 West 78th Street, 1-B

Dreaming of living in an UWS townhouse apartment on a beautiful tree-lined, exclusively residential block across from the American Museum of Natural History? 100 west 78th Street is your answer, an AIA interior structural re-design commended prewar 7-unit co-op. The home, approx. 1,400 sqft 2-bedroom, 1 ½ bath ( can be full 2 baths) triplex, has its own gated maisonette entrance. The dramatic hall entry overlooks the exceptionally large living space on the lower level with a double-height ceiling and oversized windows; the room also has a separate yet open home office space, a half bath with room to add a shower, a working fireplace and cleverly built-in storage space with drawers and shelving under the staircase. The apartment has a windowed galley kitchen on the main level, large enough for two people to use together, an adjacent dining room with a custom-crafted floor-to-ceiling solid walnut & pecan wood unit, which contains a dining buffet area and adjustable open shelving to display art, décor and books. The two generously sized bedrooms with good closet space and a full-size bathroom are located on the second floor. There is an additional storage area above the landing area just outside these three rooms. The apartment has two private outdoor spaces: one at the entryway and the other to the west of the maisonette gate. Both spaces can be garden areas and used to enjoy your morning cup of coffee and evening glass of wine. The building is in prime UWS territory with easy access to subways and buses, Central Park and across the street the American Museum of Natural History surrounded by the newly landscaped Theordore Roosevelt Park, and an expansive Sunday farmers' market. Zabar's, Citarella's, Trader Joe's and Fairway are all a short walk. Amenities include laundry facilities and a bike shed; washer/dryer installation in the unit is permitted. Pets are welcome.
