Property Description for 321 West 78th Street, 5-B

This beautifully renovated classic five-room home consists of a large entry foyer, living room, formal dining room with double exposure (which easily converts to a proper third bedroom), separate kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the kind of quiet that's hard to find in the city.

Sleek, modern and bright windowed kitchen with WOLF 4-burner gas range with grilling station, BEST vented range hood, JENN-AIR French door refrigerator, BOSCH dishwasher, KRAUS undermount sink with pullout spray faucet, and WHIRLPOOL washer & vented dryer. Marble countertops with cozy two-seat breakfast bar area, cabinets with soft-close doors & drawers, and a wall of built-in cabinets in the adjacent service hallway complete this amazing kitchen.

The corner primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and bathroom that features a large walk-in shower with built-in recessed shelving and TOTO bidet. The second bedroom is generously sized with en suite bathroom.

The apartment preserves its original pre-war elegance with elements such as herringbone flooring, high beamed ceilings, and oversized windows facing north, west, and east. The rooms are all impressive in scale and a smart layout provides for comfortable living and easy entertaining. The apartment shares the west wing of the building with just one other apartment ensuring maximum privacy and quiet from every direction.

Located on a quiet tree-lined block near Riverside Park, 321 West 78th Street is an intimate 10-story co-op (just 53 units) built in 1924. It features an elegant lobby with package room, 24-hour doormen, live-in superintendent, laundry room, storage lockers ($50/month for half lockers; $100/month for full lockers), bicycle storage room ($8/month) and is pet-friendly. Enjoy walking in Riverside Park, cycling the riverfront Esplanade, shopping at Zabar's, and concerts at the Beacon Theater. It's all here in this thriving Upper West Side community.

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.
