Property Description for 101 West 78th Street, 4-B

A rare opportunity to own a distinguished residence at 101 West 78th Street, also known as The Evelyn, where timeless prewar elegance meets contemporary refinement. Currently configured as a three-bedroom, two-and-one-half-bath home, Residence 4B offers the potential to be gracefully reimagined as a four-bedroom, three-bath layout while preserving its refined design integrity.

Bathed in natural light from open east and west exposures, the residence enjoys serene views over the tree-lined museum grounds, creating a tranquil and picturesque backdrop. The expansive great room offers graceful proportions for both entertaining and everyday living, framed by classic architectural detailing.

A thoughtful layout accommodates multiple bonus spaces - ideal for a home office, media room, fitness area, or guest suite. The serene primary suite provides a spa-like retreat with radiant-heated floors and an oversized soaking tub. Custom millwork, generous closets, and carefully considered storage enhance both livability and sophistication.

Originally designed in 1886 by Emile Gruwe and masterfully reimagined by AD100 designer Stephen Sills, The Evelyn was restored and converted in 2017, seamlessly blending 19th-century architecture with 21st-century luxury. Interiors feature soaring 10'6" ceilings, oversized windows, wide-plank white oak herringbone flooring, and richly detailed finishes that echo the building's prewar heritage while supporting modern living.

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

Located moments from Central Park and overlooking the American Museum of Natural History and Hayden Planetarium, this bespoke Upper West Side residence offers timeless character, elegant design, and an exceptional lifestyle.

Private appointments only.

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.
