Manchester House at 145 West 79th St. #5C

Designed by famed architect Emery Roth and built in 1927, the Manchester House brings to the market one of the most classic homes on the Upper West Side. Flanked between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, this gem is just a block from from the Museum of Natural History, the New York Historical Society, the 79th Street Greenmarket and Central Park. In one of the most vibrant locales in New York City, 145 West 79th Street is also surrounded by renowned staples such as Isabellas, Scaletta, The Milling Room, Book Culture, Tarallucci e Vino, and Blossom.

With only four homes per floor, the Manchester House provides an intimate and boutique setting. The entrance to the building exudes warmth and elegance. The beautifully crafted facade features impeccable detail and iron work on the front door, flanked by lush greenery, and the lobby is exquisitely designed, with an English-like decor. Amenities include a part-time doorman, live-in super, elevator access, bike and storage rooms, as well as a common laundry facility.

The fabulous location and building are only the start of this home’s appeal. Apartment 5C feels like its own oasis, as it is one of the most quiet units you will find in New York City. The 9-foot beamed ceilings, classic wood flooring, custom built-in bookshelves and a windowed kitchen and bath, add to the apartment’s ultimate charm. The rooms are gracious, and the bedroom enjoys corner exposure with beautiful brownstone terraced views.
