Property Description for 61 78th Street
Welcome to 61 78th Street. This immaculate colonial beauty was tastefully redesigned and renovated.
A lovely foyer greets you upon entering with French doors, where you can comfortably remove shoes and store coats in your coat closet. You continue into the bright front entry hall, where a cluster of curved elongated bay windows overlooking your front garden welcome you. Perfect for reading a book, social media scrolling, a catch up on your day spot.
The elegance continues straight into your sprawling first floor living room layout. It offers beautiful original refinished oak hardwood floors, high ceilings with recessed lighting, new crown molding, new paint and oversize windows with custom window treatments throughout.
