107 West 78th Street #B is a parlor level 2BR/2BA co-op apartment with two private outdoor spaces within a boutique landmark brownstone on a prime Museum block location. A great layout spanning over 1250sf with over 11ft ceilings, three exposures, and a wood-burning fireplace - this floor through home offers classic brownstone living with tremendous character, wonderful light, and abundant space.
Up one exterior stair to the building landing the apartment is directly off the entrance. Upon entry, the unique layout and historic charm of the home carefully reveals itself. Just off the entry hallway at the front of the home is a large and sunny bedroom with soaring ceiling heights and southern exposure windows - this room can accommodate a king-sized bed and also has a large closet. Passing back through the entry hall toward the back of the home, there are two large closets as well as a full bathroom. The magic truly happens as you enter in the tremendous open living room with over 11ft ceiling height, exposed brick, and a double height window overlooking the rear townhouse gardens. A versatile and inviting space, the living room can accommodate a dining area and is great for entertaining or offering laid back relaxation and cozy living in front of the wood-burning fireplace. A bonus feature, there is an additional 150sf of lofted storage space that can easily be converted to a low height reading nook or children’s hangout. To the rear of the home, the layout duplexes with a second bedroom over a large kitchen. Both spaces have two exposures with western windows and double doors each opening onto two north-facing private balconies. The large eat-in kitchen, with stainless steel gas stove and dishwasher, has abundant storage and plentiful cooking space with over 16ft linear run of cabinetry and counter. And, of course, the private balcony begs for an outdoor grill - perfect for summer time cooking or indoor/outdoor living. The upper secondary bedroom, up one short flight of stairs from the living room, has an exterior closet and en-suite bathroom. The large north-facing balcony easily accommodates a sitting area and looks over charming townhouse gardens below. The home features hardwood floors throughout, through-wall air conditioning, and a brand new in-unit Miele washer/dryer.
This parlor floor home is the total package - a great layout with separate bedrooms, wonderful light and space, three exposures, soaring ceiling heights, wood-burning fireplace, private outdoor space, bundles of historic charm, extremely low monthly maintenance costs, all found within a prime upper west side location.
107 West 78th is a landmarked Renaissance Revival-style brownstone originally built in 1891 between Columbus and Amsterdam in the Central Park West Historic District. Offering boutique and intimate brownstone living, this self-managed 5-unit co-op is on a picture perfect Upper West Side tree-lined block with it’s green canopy of trees, distinctive brownstones with color facades, and the iconic Museum of Natural History always offering a warm welcome in the backdrop.

There is easy subway access via the B/C trains at the museum along Central Park West, the 1 train at 79th and Broadway, and a multitude of crosstown buses nearby. The location cannot be beat.
