166 E 78th Street #2B

Located on one of the upper East Side's most desirable tree lined side streets, this sophisticated one floor walk-up townhouse apartment has large rooms and an enormous amount of old world charm. One enters the apartment through a gracious foyer/dining room, decorated with a fantasy mural painted with exotic birds under a colonnade with faux marble pilasters overlooking island pavilions set in an azure blue sea and sky, leading into the inviting, south-facing, richly-decorated living room with fireplace and windows facing the buildings opposite. The bedroom, currently with a Murphy bed, has ample closets and an en suite windowed bathroom. There is an additional powder room off the foyer. Fully equipped kitchen. Thru-wall air conditioning. This spacious property, lavishly decorated years ago to a very high standard, needs upgrading but has enormous potential. There is private storage and a laundry in the basement. The building has ten units and a part-time super.
