This jewel of an apartment on an historic Upper West Side block has charming tree-top views overlooking the iconic façade of the Museum of Natural History and its surrounding gardens. The living room and two bedrooms face the museum and offer a front row seat to the balloon inflating festivities on the eve of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. A gracious entry foyer joins the living room and formal dining room. Originally 6 rooms now 7, the extra-large formal dining room has been cleverly divided to create a third bedroom, leaving ample space to seat 8 to 10 in the remaining dining space. The living room has beautiful built-in shelving and cabinets, and two large windows. The 2nd bedroom is spacious and shares a bath with the newly created 3rd bedroom. The grand primary bedroom has an ensuite bath, excellent closet space and a view onto the museum. The fully renovated kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances and every convenience including a separate laundry room and pantry. A staff room/home office with a beautiful bath completes this generous layout. There are many prewar details throughout including high ceilings and beautiful floors - with light and charm in abundance. Designed in the Neo-Renaissance style and built as a cooperative in 1928, 40 West 77th Street is a prestigious landmarked full-service building on arguably one of the most beautiful, tree-lined Central Park blocks. There's a wonderful staff, a live-in building manager, and a beautifully restored marble lobby with period details. Facilities include a bike room, shareholder storage (for rent) and a central laundry room. 75% financing is allowed; pets are permitted; the building is pied-a-terre friendly. Located on the Gold Coast of the Upper West Side, a half block from Central Park and the New-York Historical Society Museum and Library, this highly coveted building offers easy access to restaurants, shopping, museums, public transportation, and all the Upper West Side has to offer.
