A RARE FIND ON THE UWS'S PRETTIEST BLOCK - Private Terrace, Wood-Burning Fireplace & Timeless Character Located on what is often called one of the prettiest blocks on the Upper West Side, this charming two-bedroom, two-bath home sits within a storied 1886 Rafael Guastavino townhouse row known for Moorish-inspired… Read More motifs, Romanesque detailing, and the signature Guastavino Arch. Just one flight up, the apartment pairs classic character with thoughtful updates: exposed brick, a sunken living room with a large north-facing window, and a wood-burning fireplace framed by an antique French oak mantel. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and exceptional ceiling-height storage, and the dining area creates a warm, defined space for entertaining-anchored by exposed brick that continues into the living room and primary bedroom. A private hall leads to the primary suite with a renovated bath and outstanding storage, including wall-to-wall custom built-ins and an outfitted walk-in closet. The king-sized bedroom enjoys quiet treetop views through three south-facing windows. The second bedroom overlooks townhouse gardens and features a custom Murphy bed with integrated shelving-ideal as a guest room, bedroom, or home office-with its own full bath and direct access to a 6' x 10' terrace. Additional highlights include through-the-wall A/C, custom built-ins throughout, and newly refinished oak hardwood floors. 131 West 78th Street is an intimate, self-managed co-op of five full-time primary residences with shared basement laundry and storage. The block-recognized by Time Out New York-is beloved for its active association and annual Halloween festivities, and is moments from Central Park, the Greenmarket, and the American Museum of Natural History. Please note: flip tax paid by buyer; current monthly assessment: $230.56. Read Less
