Bright Renovated Modern Home on Beloved Museum Block

Residence 14C at 164 West 79th Street is a stunningly reimagined pre-war home with 2-3 bedrooms, three windowed bathrooms, and spacious open-plan living and formal dining on a high floor offering natural sunlight in every room. Impeccably renovated, this home offers flexibility and sophistication at every turn and offers the grandeur and scale of pre-war living with the function and finishes of the best new development homes at incredible value.

Enter through a gracious foyer with a deep coat closet that sets the tone for the thoughtfully designed home beyond. Just ahead, the expansive living room stretches nearly 20 feet, anchored by white oak herringbone hardwood floors and custom millwork-a welcoming setting for both entertaining and everyday living. The most desirable layout-a loft-like space for grand-scale entertaining and comfortable living in great style.

The pristine three-windowed kitchen is a true standout, combining clean lines and iconic style with smart functionality. It features a large Caesarstone Quartz waterfall island with ample bar seating, Sub-Zero fridge, vented Wolf oven with induction cooktop, Miele retractable vent, wine fridge, and a Sharp microwave drawer. Ample custom white lacquer cabinetry offers great storage, and the space opens into a generous dining area-ideal for everyday living or entertaining. The most dedicated home chef will never be cut off from friends, family, or guests-yet has the luxury of space to create the most expansive meals with comfort and ease.

Directly off the public wing is the bedroom corridor. The serene king-size primary suite offers a sense of calm, featuring two custom closets and an en-suite windowed bathroom with a glass-enclosed stall shower featuring Dornbracht fixtures and a Toto toilet. The enlarged bathroom offers a built-in vanity and dressing table for elegance and luxury. The secondary bedroom offers impressive scale and versatility, comfortably accommodating two twin beds, two desks, and additional furniture with room to spare.

A true highlight of the home is the bonus third bedroom off the kitchen-a flexible space currently outfitted with a twin bed and desk, complete with its own newly renovated en-suite bath featuring a stall shower. Whether used as a guest suite, home office, or creative studio, this room is a game-changer and adds so much form and function to this masterful home.

Additional perks include the most desirable feature imaginable-beautifully integrated, full-size vented LG washer/dryer, tucked discreetly behind custom cabinetry for a seamless look; custom lighting throughout; recessed lighting in the main living areas; pre-wired Sonos ceiling speakers; and Fios connectivity. Through-wall updated air conditioning ensures seamless seasonal comfort, tucked behind integrated custom cabinetry.
