6 West 77 Street   Unit 14AB

With panoramic, bird's-eye views of Central Park and the turreted expanse of pink brownstone of the American Museum of Natural History, this majestic thirteen-into-eleven room residence evokes a sense of spaciousness as boundless as its vistas.

A grand entrance gallery anchors this exceptionally well-balanced floor plan and is flanked by a library and a banquet-sized dining room, artfully positioned before an idyllic Central Park backdrop. The living room's regal scale affords innumerable possibilities to fashion a flexible entertaining and living space, and commands sweeping city and park views so intoxicating that one's attention must be purposely redirected to the expertly crafted millwork that adorns the room.

The home's five bedrooms enjoy bright, open northern exposures, and the master suite looks out directly over Central Park where, in the distance, the Fifth Avenue skyline blooms year-round. Five and one-half bathrooms blend modern convenience with gleaming vintage fixtures. A thoughtfully outfitted service wing is designed to lend privacy and self-sufficiency to staff and guests alike.

The eat-in kitchen is certain to be a popular gathering place. Finished in buttery provincial hues, the kitchen, too, enjoys the home's uncommonly generous park views. A built-in banquette will play host to many informal meals, and expansive storage and preparation areas ensure that there is no meal too large for this kitchen to handle admirably. For added convenience, a washer and dryer is unobtrusively integrated into the space.

Built in 1927, and located on one of the most desirable blocks on the Upper West Side, 6 West 77th Street is a full-service cooperative steeped in the charm of yesteryear. Perched above the cradle of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, where its world-beloved balloons come to life each year, this home enables a lifestyle previously thought to be just the stuff of movies.
