157 W 79TH Street #9B

Gracious and spacious, this elegant, quiet, sun-flooded, south-facing, pre-war, two-bedroom is located on one of the top residential blocks on the Upper West Side. It's in great condition, with a dining area, lovely entry foyer, and large primary bedroom. The second smaller bedroom can also be used as a study, nursery, or home office, or can be expanded to create an even larger living space. The apartment has beautifully proportioned rooms, and attractive pre-war details throughout: original moldings, trims, and hardwood floors. There is also the potential for exposing the original beamed ceilings. The kitchen is partially open to the main room and fully outfitted with GE stainless appliances and granite countertops. Within easy walking distance of both Central Park and Riverside Park-and just steps away from the Museum of Natural History, the Rose Planetarium, and the Children's Museum-this classic prewar hi-rise in the heart of the Upper West Side features a live-in super, part-time doorman, laundry, storage room, and bike room. (An Equinox gym is also close by.) It is surrounded by some of New York's best food shops (Zabar's, Fairway, Citarella, Levain Bakery, Magnolia Bakery) and restaurants (Isabella's, Ocean Grill, Spiga, Fred's, Ouest, and many more). It is also very conveniently located between all West Side train lines (1, C & B) and the crosstown bus.
