40 WEST 77TH STREET

Located on the Gold Coast of the Upper West Side, a half block from Central Park and the New-York Historical Society Museum and Library, this highly coveted building offers easy access to restaurants, shopping, museums, public transportation, and all the Upper West Side has to offer. The living room and two bedrooms face the Museum of Natural History and offer a front-row seat to the balloon-inflating festivities on the eve of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

A gracious entry foyer joins the living room and formal dining room. Originally six rooms, now seven, the extra-large formal dining room has been cleverly divided to create a third bedroom, leaving ample space in the remaining dining space. The living room has beautiful built-in shelving and cabinets and two large windows. The second bedroom is spacious and shares a bath with the newly created third bedroom. The grand primary bedroom has an ensuite bath, excellent closet space, and a museum view. The fully renovated kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances and every convenience, including a separate laundry room and pantry. This generous layout completes a staff room/home office with a beautiful bath.
