Property Description for 136 West 78th Street, 3

Spacious Upper West Side Townhouse One-Bedroom with Two Fireplaces & In-Unit Washer/Dryer

Just moments from the Museum of Natural History, this exceptionally wide, floor-through townhouse residence offers the scale and charm rarely found in a one-bedroom home. Situated in a beautifully maintained mansion-style townhouse, the apartment features a sprawling 17' x 17' living room, a 13' x 17' bedroom with en-suite bath, a dedicated dressing area with generous closet space, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light throughout the day.

The renovated windowed kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with Zodiac quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, an undermount sink, and a sleek stainless steel tile backsplash. The classic bathroom combines timeless design with modern comfort, featuring subway tile walls, a basketweave marble floor, nickel fixtures, a Toto toilet, a Kohler pedestal sink, and a built-in towel shelf.

Original architectural details enhance the home's character, including crown moldings, hardwood strip flooring, and two handsome fireplaces-one wood-burning and one decorative. Completing the offering is the convenience of a private, vented in-unit stacked washer and dryer.

Located on one of the Upper West Side's most picturesque tree-lined blocks, 136 West 78th Street is an intimate four-story, four-unit cooperative townhouse dating to approximately 1896. The building has been meticulously maintained and benefits from numerous capital improvements, including a new roof, updated boiler and hot water systems, upgraded electrical infrastructure, and a comprehensive restoration of the facade, stoop, and entryway. Financing up to 80% is permitted, and pets are welcome.

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.
