Beautifully Renovated Upper West Side Sanctuary
Your dream home awaits in the heart of the Upper West Side! This spacious and beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment in the sought-after West 70s combines modern luxury with classic prewar charm. This elevated first-floor residence feels more like a second-floor home, offering abundant natural light through oversized windows with tranquil views of the quiet rear of the building. With glimpses of sun and sky, this pin-drop quiet retreat has been meticulously renovated with state-of-the-art fixtures and finishes. High beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and a thoughtfully designed layout combine timeless charm with modern comfort.
The showpiece of this home is the stunning open kitchen, beautifully customized for both functionality and style. Anchored by a Carrara marble island with seating for four, the kitchen features a deep porcelain farmhouse sink, expansive counter space, and tremendous storage. Luxury appliances include a Wolf range and oven, Bosch dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and a Miele washer/dryer, making this kitchen a chef's dream.
Both bedrooms are generously sized and light-filled. The serene primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with a custom closet and an en suite windowed marble bathroom with a glass-tiled shower. The second bedroom, equally bright and spacious, includes a custom closet and is served by a luxurious windowed guest bathroom with a deep soaking tub, Toto toilet, and imported porcelain tiles.
Nestled on a charming tree-lined block, 215 West 78th Street is an impeccably maintained prewar cooperative. Residents enjoy access to a beautifully landscaped outdoor common area with BBQ facilities, a live-in superintendent, a full-time porter, a laundry room, and a bike room. This home is just steps from Central Park, Riverside Park, and some of the Upper West Side's best offerings, including Fairway, Citarella, the Museum of Natural History, and a wide selection of acclaimed restaurants. Convenient access to major transportation makes city living effortless. Co-purchasing, guarantors, and parental purchases for adult children are permitted with board approval.
