Property Description for 215 West 78th Street, 1-C

Beautifully Renovated Upper West Side Sanctuary

Your dream home awaits in the heart of the Upper West Side! This spacious and beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment in the sought-after West 70s combines modern luxury with classic prewar charm. This elevated first-floor residence feels more like a second-floor home, offering abundant natural light through oversized windows with tranquil views of the quiet rear of the building. With glimpses of sun and sky, this pin-drop quiet retreat has been meticulously renovated with state-of-the-art fixtures and finishes. High beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and a thoughtfully designed layout combine timeless charm with modern comfort.

The showpiece of this home is the stunning open kitchen, beautifully customized for both functionality and style. Anchored by a Carrara marble island with seating for four, the kitchen features a deep porcelain farmhouse sink, expansive counter space, and tremendous storage. Luxury appliances include a Wolf range and oven, Bosch dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and a Miele washer/dryer, making this kitchen a chef's dream.

Both bedrooms are generously sized and light-filled. The serene primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with a custom closet and an en suite windowed marble bathroom with a glass-tiled shower. The second bedroom, equally bright and spacious, includes a custom closet and is served by a luxurious windowed guest bathroom with a deep soaking tub, Toto toilet, and imported porcelain tiles.

Nestled on a charming tree-lined block, 215 West 78th Street is an impeccably maintained prewar cooperative. Residents enjoy access to a beautifully landscaped outdoor common area with BBQ facilities, a live-in superintendent, a full-time porter, a laundry room, and a bike room. This home is just steps from Central Park, Riverside Park, and some of the Upper West Side's best offerings, including Fairway, Citarella, the Museum of Natural History, and a wide selection of acclaimed restaurants. Convenient access to major transportation makes city living effortless. Co-purchasing, guarantors, and parental purchases for adult children are permitted with board approval. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer. (Please note: pied-à-terre use is not 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.
