207 West 79th Street (CityRealty)
The first closing has come in for 207 West 79th Street, a rare ground-up condo development on the Upper West Side. The closing was recorded for Unit #7B, a 2,026-SF, 3-bed/3-bath on the seventh floor which had an original ask of $5,050,000. Corcoran handled the sale.
The half-floor spread is entered from white bronze metal elevators and wide corridors leading to the home’s demure foyer. To the left (north), two bedrooms with en-suite baths overlook a rear courtyard, and to the right are expansive living spaces (plus a third bedroom) facing West 79th Street.

The kitchen has a large island and counters finished in White Sky marble. State-of-the-art appliances are by Wolf, Subzero, and Miele. Master baths have radiant heated floors and Bianco Bello marble floor-to-ceiling walls and countertops.

207W79 is within the Upper West Side-Central Park West Historic District and adjacent to the ornate Lucerne. For the exterior, Morris Aidjmi specified an understated facade of limestone, brick, and terra cotta panels that would not overwhelm its pre-war neighbors. Anbau is the developer of the 13-floor, 19-unit building. As of early April, just three residences remain on the market: #4B is a 3-bed, 3-bath for $4.75M, #8A is a 4-bed/4-bath listed for $6.55M, and #12 is a 5-bed/5-bath listed for $10.5M. The building’s two 5-bedroom townhouses are already in contract.

Amenities in the building include a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center, private storage, and a bike room. The stellar location is one block away from the American Museum of Natural History and equidistant to Central Park and Riverside Park. Many of Manhattan’s best restaurants and shops are also close by.
