Sun-Filled Brownstone Duplex with Wood-Burning Fireplace

This charming two-bedroom duplex is set within an intimate and beautifully maintained brownstone co-op at 121 West 77th Street.

Occupying the front portion of the fourth and fifth floors, the residence enjoys sunny southern exposures overlooking a picturesque tree-lined Upper West Side street. With just three apartments in the building, this quiet co-op offers a rare sense of privacy. A shared washer and dryer are located in the basement, and in-unit washer/dryer installation is permitted with board approval.

The main level features an expansive living and dining area with impressive 10'2" ceilings, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a striking wall of exposed brick surrounding a wood-burning fireplace. The generous proportions create a welcoming space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is conveniently located just off the living area, while a distinctive spiral staircase leads to the upper level.

Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features exposed brick and a wall of closets. A second bedroom and full bathroom complete the upper level.

With high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, a wood-burning fireplace, excellent storage, and abundant southern light, this unique duplex offers classic brownstone character in a highly desirable Upper West Side location.
