Description

Bright, Peaceful, and Beautifully Renovated Upper West Side Home

Discover a serene oasis in the heart of the Upper West Side with this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. Nestled on a tranquil, tree-lined street in the sought-after West 70s, this residence seamlessly blends classic prewar charm with modern conveniences. Fully gut-renovated five years ago, it offers a peaceful retreat in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.

The heart of this home is its expansive, open-concept kitchen, perfect for both entertaining and daily living. A generous island with seating for four is the centerpiece, complemented by high-end appliances including a Viking range and microwave, Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, and a full-size LG washer/dryer, all designed to enhance both form and function.

The living room exudes warmth and tranquility, featuring oversized windows that flood the space with natural light and offer open sky views. High beamed ceilings and wide plank wood floors add character, while modern finishes provide a touch of sophistication.

Both bedrooms are generously sized and bathed in natural light. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a king-sized layout, a deep custom closet, and a windowed en suite bathroom featuring a luxurious soaking tub. The second bedroom, also king-sized, is versatile enough to serve as a guest room, home office, or shared children's room, with a beautifully renovated bathroom nearby featuring a glass-enclosed shower and elegant tilework.

Located in the meticulously maintained prewar cooperative at 215 West 78th Street, residents enjoy a range of amenities including a landscaped outdoor common area with BBQ facilities, a live-in superintendent, a full-time porter, a laundry room, and a bike room. Just steps from Central Park, Riverside Park, and the Upper West Side's finest attractions, including Fairway, Citarella, and the Museum of Natural History, this home offers unparalleled convenience. With easy access to major transportation, city living is truly effortless. Co-purchasing, guarantors, and parental purchases for adult children are permitted with board approval. Please note a 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer, and pied- -terre use is not permitted.
