About This Home
As of January 2025A Country Oasis in the City. At nearly 2500 square feet, this special three-bedroom home is one-of-a-kind and not to be missed. Located in renown 170 East 78th Street, a beloved full-service prewar cooperative, this apartment evokes the feeling of a house with all the conveniences of an apartment building.
The ultimate entertaining apartment, a welcoming entry gallery is the focal point from which all public rooms are accessed and easily flow through. A 29 ft. oversized South-facing living room is bathed in sun all day and easily accommodates two seating areas; one more formal living area centered around a woodburning fireplace, and a second by the formal kitchen and dining great room, allowing for easy interaction between parties in both rooms. Two sets of large casement windows and prewar details add to the charm and wow factor of this beautiful room.
Separated from the living room by a pair of glass French doors, the open kitchen and dining room is perfect for both formal and informal gatherings. The newly renovated kitchen has ample storage throughout, a wine fridge, refrigerator and freezer drawers, six burner stove, farm sink, and large island. The formal dining area easily accommodates a table for 6 or more. This room also benefits from two East-facing windows, one of which is floor-to-ceiling and opens to a juliet balcony.
To the right of the entry gallery is another huge entertaining room- a cozy den with wood-burning fireplace. Also bathed in sunlight via gorgeous casement windows, this is the ultimate hang out and game room. There is close access to a secondary kitchenette and laundry room with refrigerator and dishwasher. The scale of this room is so great there is even a separate office area.
The three bedrooms flank either side of the apartment. The primary bedroom suite is located on one side allowing for the upmost privacy, and the two additional bedrooms and bathroom are on the other. The primary suite has a bathroom with dual sinks and large vanity, free standing shower, and separate claw foot tub. There is an abundance of closet space throughout the apartment, a newly installed washer and dryer, and thru wall AC in entertaining rooms.
170 East 78th Street, also known as Morgan Studios, is a boutique prewar cooperative built in 1927. Originally used as artist's studios, this is a destination building for many. On a lovely tree-lined block and close to transportation, restaurants and shopping, the building has a full-time doorman and live in resident manager. Pied-e-terres and pets are permitted with board approval and basement storage available for a monthly fee. The building permits up to 50% financing. 2.5% flip tax paid by the buyer.
