A rarely available high floor classic-six, fronting on West 79th Street's Museum Block, is ready for a new owner's personal touch. Solid oak, basket weave parquet floors have been newly refinished; the entire apartment has been freshly and expertly painted;  crown and base moldings; original French doors and 14 windows give great structure to this space. A gracious entry foyer leads into a spacious living room and a separate dining room. The two bedrooms at the far end of the apartment offer privacy along with two full bathrooms. The kitchen offers the opportunity for a contemporary update, and features a grandfathered washer and dryer. Lastly, there is a maid's room with its own bathroom, which could be combined into an expanded new kitchen. This generously sized, pre-war corner apartment is ready to be filled with new life.

Designed in the Neo-Renaissance style by George Pelham and built in 1924, 164 West 79th Street is a long established co-op building, featuring a part-time doorman, a resident super, a planted roof deck, a private garden, bin and bike storage, and a central laundry room. Pets are welcome! Superbly located between two major subway lines, a half block from the Museum of Natural History, and a short distance from Central Park.        Flip tax of $25/share ($12,600), paid by Purchaser.
