About This Property

A Rare Upper West Side Gem! Four Bedrooms, Four Baths in a Full-Service Prewar Cooperative

Where can you find a beautiful four-bedroom, four-bathroom home on one of the Upper West Side’s most desirable streets? Welcome to 127 West 79th Street! Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity.

Bathed in southern light, this spacious, loft-like prewar residence combines classic New York character with an outstanding layout designed for both gracious entertaining and comfortable everyday living. High ceilings, through-wall air conditioning, and an expansive south-facing living room and dining area create a bright, welcoming atmosphere, with sunlight streaming in throughout the day.

The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers four generously proportioned bedrooms and four full bathrooms, with all bedrooms privately situated away from the entertaining areas. The enormous primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a dedicated desk area, an oversized closet, a luxurious bathroom with dual sinks, and the added convenience of a separate laundry room. A huge pantry closet provides exceptional storage.

The full-service, pet-friendly cooperative is beautifully maintained and offers a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, and an outstanding landscaped roof deck complete with flower and herb gardens. Additional amenities include a bike room, private storage (subject to availability), and recently renovated hallways.

Perfectly situated in the heart of the Upper West Side, the building is just one block from the American Museum of Natural History and moments from wonderful shopping, neighborhood restaurants, grocery stores, and convenient transportation.

With 75% financing permitted and no flip tax, this remarkable residence offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the very best of Upper West Side living.

Maintenance: $6,231.88 per month, plus a $296.27 monthly assessment. Maintenance includes gas, heat, and electricity.

Space, light, classic prewar charm, and an unbeatable location—this is Upper West Side living at its finest!

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.

All four bedrooms are set apart from the living room and dining area, so guests can gather in the south-facing main rooms without the bedrooms being in the way. There are four full bathrooms spread across that layout, which matters if you host often.

The living room and dining area face south, so they get direct sun for a long stretch of the day. On an open horizon, that direction gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun in winter and about 10 hours in spring and fall. Nearby buildings can block some of it.

The primary suite has a dedicated desk area, an oversized closet, a bathroom with dual sinks, and a separate laundry room. I like having laundry inside the suite, because it keeps that task out of the common rooms. There's also a huge pantry closet that adds storage to the kitchen side.

Through-wall air conditioning is part of the apartment.

The building has a bike room, an elevator, laundry, a garden, and a roof deck with flower and herb gardens. The listing also describes a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent, and maintenance includes gas, heat and electricity. The 79 St station on the 1 train is about 5 minutes away on foot, and Theodore Roosevelt Park is about 2 minutes away.
