Description
Located in one of the most culturally rich areas of the Upper West Side, 123 West 78th Street is steps away from Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, The New York Historical Society, and so much more. This classic property, nestled between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, is one of only six iconic "Red & Whites" designed by architect Rafael Guastavino, famous for his innovative vaulted ceilings gracing such New York landmarks as Grand Central Station, Carnegie Hall, and the Cathedral of St John the Divine. Built in 1886, the charm of this townhouse is enhanced by the uncommon serenity of this community-minded tree-lined street voted "One of the Best Blocks in NYC" by New York Magazine. Original details include four decorative fireplaces, black walnut and mahogany wainscoting, crown moldings, bordered parquet floors,and high ceilings. A lovely landscaped garden offers a private oasis, and a roof terrace overlooks the garden. Air rights for additional square footage on the roof round out this rare opportunity for the new owner to renovate four floors into a stunning home. Delivered vacant. Shown by private appt.
