Property Description for 171 West 79th Street, 123

Feast your eyes on the panoramic Northern city views from this 12th floor beautifully renovated 2 bedroom home that glows in the sun from morning to night. Elegant prewar features like high beamed ceilings and impeccably restored original inlaid basket weave floors are flawlessly blended with the new features such as through-wall AC and top of the line Viking and Liebherr appliances - all in keeping with the classic timeless design you’d expect to find in this distinguished, well-run Upper West Side co-op. The entry foyer leads you to an expansive open kitchen, with white lacquered solid wood cabinetry, counter space for days, a full sized vented washer-dryer, and a large window facing West. Past the honed calacatta marble breakfast bar is a dining area for 6, and then a generously proportioned living and entertaining space overlooking the Upper West Side. Floor to ceiling pocket doors slide open to reveal a second bedroom, or media room/guest room/library, creating a dramatic double-wide space for a truly gracious flow of living. When closed, the spacious room can be entered off the bedroom hallway for a private sleeping space. The corner primary bedroom has been outfitted with a full wall of extra deep closets for impressive storage, through the wall ACs, and the same sparkling city views as the rest of the home. The windowed primary bathroom and powder room were recently renovated with prewar luxury in mind, both featuring exquisite mosaic floors. 171 West 79th Street is situated on one of the most beloved blocks on the West Side. Positioned between Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, Broadway and the Hudson River- you will enjoy every aspect and convenience of this ideal location. Built in 1924, 171 offers the convenience of a residential building manager, bike storage, and a doorman on site from 8am to midnight. Pets and pied a terres are permitted.

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.
