The entire pin-drop-quiet top floor of an owner-occupied brownstone on the Upper West Side's "best residential block" (Time Out New York), this spacious sun-flooded one-bedroom floor through retains the lofty ceilings, hand-lathed woodwork, polished oak floors, and elegantly proportioned rooms of the original 1884 townhouse. Centered on a stone fireplace with a cast-iron cover, the 16' living room looks out over tree-lined West 78th Street, just doors from the Natural History Museum park. A passthrough opens to a 14' working kitchen with granite countertops and a stainless Bosch D/W. The hallway that leads along an exposed brick wall from the living room to the kitchen, a utility closet, and a powder room-bathroom suite with a marble vanity, plentiful storage space, ends at a 15' bedroom with a wall of closets opposite south-facing windows opening onto lush garden courtyards that are bright with cherry, magnolia, hibiscus, and hydrangea blossoms in the spring and summer. Lean out of a window and you're in the country. Right down the front steps and you're in what is still one of the world's great cities. One block from Central Park, 5 from Fairway, Citarella, Zabar's, and the 1, 2, 3, B and C trains.
