Building: 177 East 77th Street

This late Art Deco, beige brick Condominium apartment building was designed by Boak & Paris. Situated mid-block, its canopied entrance has a handsome limestone surround, which opens into a generous lobby that has retained many Deco design elements. The building has a full-time Concierge, a live-in Superintendent, a roof terrace, bike room, additional storage and a laundry in the basement.

Apartments enjoy excellent light and air, even those at the back of the building, because of the residents’ garden that it shares with The Empire apartment building to the north of it, as well as the two-story structure to the east of it. A number of apartments have balconies and many have washer/dryers, original herringbone hardwood floors and beamed ceilings.

There is good public transportation available with the subway station on 77th Street and Lexington Avenue, as well as the cross-town bus service on 79th Street. There are many fine restaurants, bars, gourmet food stores and boutiques in the area. It is a short walk to Central Park and Lenox Hill Hospital is a block away.
