Property Description for 101 West 78th Street, 5-B

101 West 78th Street - A Townhouse in the Sky

A rare opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind five bedroom, four and a half bath duplex spanning approximately 4,500 square feet at The Evelyn, where timeless prewar grandeur meets contemporary refinement.

Perched on the fifth and sixth floors, the residence is surrounded by treetops and bathed in natural light from open east and west exposures. The expansive great room, anchored by a gas fireplace, offers elegant flow for entertaining and everyday living-overlooking Roosevelt Park, the Planetarium, and the Museum of Natural History.

A flexible layout allows for multiple bonus spaces-ideal for a home office, gym, media room, or guest suite. The serene primary suite features radiant-heated floors and an oversized soaking tub, creating a private, spa-like retreat. Custom millwork, abundant closets, and thoughtful storage enhance the home's sophistication and livability.

Moments from Central Park and the city's best dining and cultural destinations, The Evelyn is a full-service condominium originally designed by Emile Gruwe in 1886 and reimagined by AD100 designer Stephen Sills. Restored and converted in 2017, the building seamlessly blends 19th-century architecture with 21st century luxury featuring 10'6" ceilings, oversized windows, wide plank white oak herringbone floors, hand-painted Smallbone of Devizes kitchens, honed Carrara marble, and Waterworks fixtures.

Residents enjoy a 24-hour attended lobby, fitness center, children's playroom, bicycle storage, and cold storage.

A grand, bespoke Upper West Side home- rare in scale, flexible in design, and timeless in character.

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.
