An outstanding residence in one of the Upper West Side's finest white-glove cooperatives, this magnificent eight into seven room duplex was personally designed and originally lived in by the building's architect back in 1927. At approximately 2900 square feet, the grand scale home has been updated for contemporary living and is pin drop quiet. Southern exposures in every room provide brilliant all-day sunshine as well as open city views. A loft-like open living room / dining room, spanning 34 feet, has five large windows, plentiful wall space for serious art collectors, and is perfect for entertaining. The beautifully renovated, sundrenched chef's eat-in-kitchen offers top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and a wine refrigerator. Two of the four bedrooms on the upper 9th floor have been combined to create a double master bedroom suite with an enlarged bathroom and generous walk-in closets. The large room off the kitchen is perfect as an office, den, guest room or fourth bedroom. There are also three luxuriously renovated tumbled-marble bathrooms, a powder room, a washer/dryer, refinished parquet wood floors, through-wall air conditioning in every room, recently upgraded electrical wiring, and a large basement storage space that comes with the apartment.

Located directly across the street from the Museum of Natural History, 6-16 West 77th Street was converted to a cooperative in 1959 and has 15 floors and 91 apartments between the two buildings. Residents enjoy the highest levels of service and privacy. Amenities include full-time doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, storage and laundry facilities in the basement, a bicycle room and a beautiful backyard garden.
