Property Description for 157 West 79th Street, 5-CD

Fully Renovated, Pre-War, Half Floor Showstopper

A Beautiful, Renovated Home in a Classic, Museum Park Block Building

Room For All Of Your Growing Needs

When a designer melds form and function perfectly, a harmony exists. When a home melds good flow and gracious scale, a balance exists. When you meet this winsome residence and your heart melts, your home will exist.

Mindfully renovated, with a designer's eye and a clever, practical heart, this substantially scaled, pristinely detailed, high-ceilinged, big-windowed, quiet, cheerful, pre-war dream space has it all:

-A large and elegant living room with fireplace (decorative w/gel fuel) — a comfortable space ideal for entertaining.

-A windowed, designer kitchen with marble counters, top-shelf appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero, five star fixtures, filtered water service, and handsome custom cabinetry — served perfectly by a fully outfitted, step-in pantry.

-An elegant dining room off of the cook’s kitchen and by the gracious foyer and custom bar space.

-Three king-sized bedrooms —a large master and two corner bedrooms with dual exposures (cross breezes anyone?). Bedroom three is currently configured as a big, bonus media room and office. All three bedrooms have supreme closet space — the magnificent master offering a fully outfitted, designer walk-in closet (readily converted to a third bathroom).

-Two gorgeous, custom, designer, windowed marble baths with top-end fixtures. One has a spa like walk-in shower and the other a cast iron bathtub.

-A smart home with integrated lighting and sound systems throughout.

If space is your goal, and a prime park-side location — close to every area shopping, dining, fitness, and cultural destination — is a must (not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options), then this stand-out residence will certainly impress and inspire you. Perfectly perched in its well-served, pet-friendly, pre-war building with new lobby and halls, this Upper West Side beauty is a rare residential opportunity indeed.

Welcome home.

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.
