Designed by Emile Gruwe and completed in 1886, 101 West 78th Street (www.101west78.com) 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 north side of the building with exposures to the east, west, north and south, Apartment 5B is a five bedroom, four and a half bathroom duplex of approximately 4,477 square feet. A loft-like space more likely to be found facing Madison Park than fronting the Museum of Natural History, this apartment incorporates a chic open kitchen, separate formal dining room or den and an additional media room. The living room and adjacent open kitchen measure fantastic 45 feet in length, with a gas fireplace at the center of the space.  

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 will 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. Occupancy will begin in the summer of 2017.
