Description

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.
