20 West 77th St. #4A

A Classic 7 “Elegance and Location” 20 West 77th Street, built in 1926, is a 16 story building, 31 units in total, with 2 apartments per floor, front-facing and rear, and only one penthouse apartment, a simple and elegant lobby to come home to. It is situated on a tree-lined street with a single side of residential buildings facing the Museum of Natural History. “Naturally Central” to the value of the building and apartment is the double-bonus location: The Museum of Natural History and Central Park. 4A is a spacious front-facing apartment with three exposures, north/south/west. The flexible circular layout consists of 3 well proportioned bedrooms, a formal dining room and large eat-in kitchen (incorporating the maid’s room and bath). Three rooms, the width of the building, including the living room face north to the street with tree-top and open views of the majestic architectural jewel, the Museum. These three front-facing rooms, including two bedrooms, have their own individual central heat and air-conditioning units. The gracious low-key entry foyer opens onto the 21 foot deep living room. The large eat-in kitchen, off the dining room, with two windows, has a separate service entrance. The horse-shoe shape kitchen has enough space for a pantry and/or office, washer/dryer (already exists), and offers wonderful counter space for entertaining. Prewar characteristics and details include original floors, both hardwood and parquet, molding, glass knobs, mirrored doors, and beamed high ceilings. And besides having Central Park at your doorstep, the building has 2 common outdoor spaces: an enchanting “secret” garden on the lower floor, and a new roof-top with broad city and park views, complete with plantings and seating.
