Property Description for 135 West 79th Street, 8-C

DOWNTOWN "LOFT" HOME IN UPTOWN CLASSIC ADDRESS: BIG 1BR REIMAGINED AS A LOFT

RARE & SOULFUL CORNER 8-WINDOW STUNNER w/DECORATIVE FIREPLACE, EXPOSED BRICK, & 10-FOOT CEILINGS

MUSEUM PARK BLOCK CLOSE TO CENTRAL PARK IN PERFECTLY PRIME LOCATION

PET & PIED A TERRE FRIENDLY WHERE GUARANTORS, GIFTING, CO-PURCHASES & ONE-BUYING-FOR-ANOTHER ACCEPTABLE (w/Board Approval)

This is the reimagined, deconstructed, renovated home that changes hearts and inspires good vibes whenever you’re enjoying this big, re-invented space. With high ceilings above, handsome hardwood floors underfoot, over-scaled, bright windows in two directions (cross-breezes anyone?), and a rare and lofty, stretch-out layout — life here is bigger, sexier, and more soulful.

This is not your typical Pre-War one bedroom home. This is a home whose original architecture is front and center, enhanced by its exposed brick, anchored by its decorative fireplace and built-ins, and mindfully planned to inspire the senses and soothe the soul.

There is a tranquil, easy-to-love feeling in this home, and its unique plan and finish make it a refreshing departure from a typical Pre-War home.
A sweet gallery/foyer spills onto the big, dramatic living/dining rooms -- a light and airy space anchored by a trio of windows by the dining area, and more windows in the sleeping space -- boasting big open sky and city views. Served by an upgraded windowed kitchen — with ample cabinet and counter space — this great room is ideal for big entertaining and quiet recharging. The well scaled bedroom is now part of the open plan, and features a "wall" of storage and impressive closet space. The windowed bath is classic and features the original cast-iron soaking tub.

Well positioned in its good looking, 1914 building, this easy-to-love residence enjoys the benefits of its coveted live-in Super, and separate bike/laundry rooms. Pet and pied-terre-friendly — with Museum and Central Parks right up the street — this winsome home offers a prime location that comes with bragging rights. Conveniently located on a quiet (no through-traffic), picturesque tree-lined street, this easy-living "loft" offers prime proximity to every area dining, shopping, and cultural destination. Transportation options abound (1, B and C trains), and minutes away are Trader Joe’s, Citarella, Zabar’s, Fairway, the Beacon Theatre, and Lincoln Center — just to name a few.

If you want to live uptown, but you hunger for a downtown vibe, then come discover the home that makes it all possible. Your exciting downtown-uptown life starts here.

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.
