Building: 321 West 78th Street

Situated on a charming, tree-lined townhouse block, this intimate nine-story building, consisting of 56 apartments, was built in 1925. The red brick façade is highly decorative, enhanced by elegant architectural details including limestone pilasters rising three stories surrounding the canopied entrance, raised brickwork, limestone banding and window surrounds on the top floors.

Ranging in size from one to four bedrooms, the apartments have layouts that are both gracious and practical, with multiple exposures and ample closets. Rooms are spacious, with high ceilings and moldings, and herringbone-patterned floors. Some larger units have butlers’ pantries and maids’ rooms.

Building amenities include full-time doormen, a live-in superintendent, bicycle/storage area and laundry facilities. Pets are permitted, as are pieds-a-terre, and 70% financing is allowed.

321 West 78th St. is ideally located just one block from transportation, shopping, and restaurants and is adjacent to Riverside Park and the 79th Street boat basin.
