This mint triplex offers a south-facing living room with lovely open city views, a wood-burning fireplace, exposed brick, as well as a California kitchen with expansive quartz countertops and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. Also on this floor are two bedrooms that both face north to charming gardens, as well as a renovated full bathroom, and a washer/dryer.

The beautifully designed spiral staircase leads down to the gigantic den that is even large enough for a ping pong table! This versatile space can also be used as a fourth bedroom with a separate entrance and a full bathroom with a sleek glass-enclosed stall shower.

Up the straight staircase from the living room is the spacious and very private primary bedroom suite with its wall of custom closets and an en-suite bathroom. Also on this floor is the massive roof deck that offers an urban oasis, skyline views, and multiple seating areas.

Additional features of this turnkey home are its soaring 10' ceilings, dreamy hardwood floors, split system/central A/C, and recessed lighting.

157 West 78th Street is a four-unit brownstone co-op located on a bucolic tree-lined block just down the street from the Museum of Natural History, Central Park, great restaurants, and convenient transportation.

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.
