16 W 77th St, Unit 16E New York, NY 10024

Introducing Residence 16E at 16 West 77th Street: a newly and meticulously renovated 16th floor three-bedroom duplex with a spacious terrace from which a rare, private and sweeping view over Central Park and the historic Upper West Side -- from the Museum of Natural History to the iconic towers at El Dorado -- can be quietly enjoyed.

From the ornate elevator landing, enter the home through the gracious reception foyer. The living and dining rooms are each separate and formal, and are as well-suited for entertaining as they are for the creature comforts of daily life. Ceiling heights of nearly 11', pristine wide-plank White Oak floors and newly skim-coated walls prevail here and imbue a sense of contemporary ease in the home's pre-war floor plan.

Nearby, the chef's kitchen, complete with brand new top-end stainless steel appliances by Miele and Sub-Zero, was recently refreshed with new Caesarstone countertops and backsplashes, plus refinished cabinetry and the addition of under-cabinet lighting. It is perfect for staff, caterers or for casual daily use. A staff room or home office, as well as a powder room for guests, is also located in this wing of the home.

Upstairs, a media room or library rounds out the home's public spaces and serves as the access point to its incredible private terrace. The working fireplace is placed within a soapstone mantel, matching the threshold of the terrace door. Hand-painted Delft tiles from the Netherlands line the mantel. The terrace, with a new motorized awning and a dedicated water supply, has space enough for outdoor dining as well as a casual seating area, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or simply the turning of seasons in Central Park.

On the primary level's eastern wing, three bedrooms are tucked quietly away, and can be completely closed off from the living spaces. Facing north, each bedroom enjoys protected views of Central Park and the Museum of Natural History. The principal bedroom has large closet with custom millwork, a windowed en-suite bathroom, and easily accommodates a king-size bed. The bathroom offers a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower and brand new fixtures by Watermark. The floors are Bianco Nero stone mosaic tile, and the walls are glazed brick tile. A custom vanity with plenty of storage and radiant heated floors make this a luxurious and functional space.

Each secondary bedroom includes generous closets with custom millwork, plus open views of the Upper West Side. They share a full windowed bathroom, finished in Bianco Dolomiti stone tile and with fixtures by Watermark and Vola. This bathroom also includes radiant heated flooring and a custom vanity with storage, plus an electric towel warmer for additional comfort.

Zoned heating and cooling and brand new in-unit laundry facilities serve as finishing touches to this mint condition space. The unit also transfers with a storage unit in the basement.

16 West 77th Street was originally erected in 1927 and has been an established cooperative since 1959. The facade, built in the Neo-Renaissance style by architect Nathan Korn, is made of brick, limestone and terra cotta. Mature trees line the block and lead the way from the building to the most lush expanse of greenery in the city just several steps to the building's east. Residents enjoy an elegant and meticulously maintained lobby; full-time doorman and staff; gym. The building will permit up to 50% financing; pets are welcomed.
