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!
