Property Description for 164 West 79th Street, 14-C

Bright Renovated Modern Home on Beloved Museum Block

Residence 14C at 164 West 79th Street is a stunningly reimagined pre-war home with 2-3 bedrooms, three windowed bathrooms, and spacious open-plan living and formal dining on a high floor offering natural sunlight in every room. Impeccably renovated, this home offers flexibility and sophistication at every turn and offers the grandeur and scale of pre-war living with the function and finishes of the best new development homes at incredible value.

Enter through a gracious foyer with a deep coat closet that sets the tone for the thoughtfully designed home beyond. Just ahead, the expansive living room stretches nearly 20 feet, anchored by white oak herringbone hardwood floors and custom millwork-a welcoming setting for both entertaining and everyday living. The most desirable layout-a loft-like space for grand-scale entertaining and comfortable living in great style.

The pristine three-windowed kitchen is a true standout, combining clean lines and iconic style with smart functionality. It features a large Caesarstone Quartz waterfall island with ample bar seating, Sub-Zero fridge, vented Wolf oven with induction cooktop, Miele retractable vent, wine fridge, and a Sharp microwave drawer. Ample custom white lacquer cabinetry offers great storage, and the space opens into a generous dining area-ideal for everyday living or entertaining. The most dedicated home chef will never be cut off from friends, family, or guests-yet has the luxury of space to create the most expansive meals with comfort and ease.

Directly off the public wing is the bedroom corridor. The serene king-size primary suite offers a sense of calm, featuring two custom closets and an en-suite windowed bathroom with a glass-enclosed stall shower featuring Dornbracht fixtures and a Toto toilet. The enlarged bathroom offers a built-in vanity and dressing table for elegance and luxury. The secondary bedroom offers impressive scale and versatility, comfortably accommodating two twin beds, two desks, and additional furniture with room to spare.

A true highlight of the home is the bonus third bedroom off the kitchen-a flexible space currently outfitted with a twin bed and desk, complete with its own newly renovated en-suite bath featuring a stall shower. Whether used as a guest suite, home office, or creative studio, this room is a game-changer and adds so much form and function to this masterful home.

Additional perks include the most desirable feature imaginable-beautifully integrated, full-size vented LG washer/dryer, tucked discreetly behind custom cabinetry for a seamless look; custom lighting throughout; recessed lighting in the main living areas; pre-wired Sonos ceiling speakers; and Fios connectivity. Through-wall updated air conditioning ensures seamless seasonal comfort, tucked behind integrated custom cabinetry.

164 West 79th Street is a well-maintained full-service Upper West Side cooperative just moments from Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, and top dining and cultural institutions, including highly rated public and private schools. Built in 1924 and zoned for PS87, with 60 apartments over 15 floors, it offers a great live-in superintendent, doorman service from 8am to midnight on weekdays and noon to midnight on weekends, a gorgeous planted roof deck with city views, a back garden with a barbecue, a children's playroom, bike storage, and private storage bins.

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.
