Property Description for 171 West 79th Street, 31/32

Boasting approximately 3000 square feet of living space, this four bedroom plus library, four bathroom apartment is impeccably renovated and is perfect for entertaining and living.

A formal gallery leads to the oversized, nearly 30 foot long loft-like living/room dining room. This sun-flooded room features custom built-ins, a decorative fireplace, and four South facing windows onto double-wide 79thStreet. The adjacent, South facing library is perfect for more informal living, has two huge closets, and can easily be converted into a fifth bedroom, if needed.

The super spacious, renovated eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, with top of the line appliances including an 8 burner Wolf range with vented hood, Subzero fridge, and Bosch dishwasher. It also boasts a huge island with a double sink and garbage disposal, walk-in pantry, and copious amounts of storage space. It is also is perfect for wine lovers as it has two full size Subzero wine refrigerators, as well as a half size Subzero wine refrigerator in the wet bar area.

Thoughtfully separated from the entertaining areas of the home, the bright and sumptuous primary bedroom has three large closets, custom built-in storage, and an en-suite, windowed primary bathroom with a double vanity and glass shower. On the other side of the apartment are two very large secondary bedrooms that both face South onto 79thstreet and each have their own renovated bathroom. The fourth bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom with good storage space. There is also a huge laundry room with a vented washer/dryer, sink, and extra refrigerator.

Additional features of this lovely apartment include hardwood floors, recently updated thru-wall ACs throughout, a myriad of storage space, and a Sonos sound system.

171 West 79th Street is a lovely prewar building with doormen and a fabulous resident manager. Ideally located on a tree lined tranquil block, yet so close to the best schools, food shopping, restaurants, boutiques, parks and 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.
