Designed by Emile Gruwe and completed in 1886, one hundred and one West 78th Street is a bold and distinctive landmark building located on the corner of 78th Street and Columbus Avenue, directly across the street from its architectural contemporary, the American Museum of Natural History. This turn-of-the-century treasure has been thoughtfully restored and thoroughly modernized to preserve the historical fabric of the building and create an elegant, modern boutique condominium for the 21st Century. Stephen Sills, an Architectural Digest “AD 100” designer, has fashioned the building’s lobby, amenity spaces, and a collection of carefully conceived two-to-five-bedroom residences.

Located on the front corner of the building facing south and east, Apartment 4A measures approximately 4,820 square feet. This large eight-room residence of four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a powder room includes a 37-foot-long corner living room, a large formal dining room, gracious eat-in kitchen and a library which is convertible to a fifth bedroom. Finished ceiling heights throughout the building measure up to ten and a half feet, while window sizes are ample.

The custom-made Smallbone of Devizes kitchen incorporates Stephen Sills-designed cabinetry in a white, hand-painted finish, accompanied with glass-fronted upper cabinets and antique brass hardware, an array of Miele appliances, and White Carrara honed marble countertops with full-height slab backsplash. Solid oak herringbone floors grace the public rooms, with plank floors found in the kitchen, bedrooms and corridors. Bathrooms feature sinks, fittings, and accessories from Waterworks and Stephen Sills custom-designed millwork.

101 West 78th Street is a full-service building with a 24-hour attended lobby. Amenities include a fitness center, children’s playroom, and bicycle storage. Private storage spaces are also available for purchase. Immediate occupancy available.
