Does perfection exist? One can find it in a brilliantly designed live/work, 4 bedroom, or 3 BR plus office, residence in an impeccable building at the epicenter of the Upper Westside. The open floor plan encompasses an immense living room, dining area, 2 full baths and a professional-grade gourmet kitchen with smart custom cabinetry, designer lighting and tile, top appliances and miles of counter/island space. High beamed ceilings and handsome parquet flooring span its loft-like dimensions.

Importantly, this airy and sophisticated apartment has a valuable dual function: it can be used professionally and/or as one's own comfortable home. The entrance is via a doorman attended lobby. A conveniently situated office or guest room is located up front as one arrives and is big enough for a queen-sized bed.

The large primary bedroom containing abundant closet space, flexible storage and a roomy bath are privately situated in a separate wing. 2nd and 3rd bedrooms have been wonderfully decorated with enviable built-in shelving and platform beds. Amenities include AC throughout, white oak flooring and the space and plumbing for a 3rd bath or laundry room.

164 West 79th Street resides on a desirable museum block and is one of the most popular buildings in the area. Its amenities include a spectacular shareholders' roof deck, playroom, bin & bike storage, central laundry room and a devoted staff headed by an attentive resident manager.

Nobly designed by George F. Pelham in 1924 and equidistant between Central and Riverside Parks, the building welcomes pets and pieds-?-terre. Permanent neighbors include a collection of prodigious dinosaurs, world class dining, every known service, myriad shopping options, two major subway lines, the 1,2,3,B,C and the crosstown bus.

Apt 1D combines a wealth of space with a buoyantly modern ambiance, superb location and the rare opportunity to live and work in a lovely, well-cared-for environment.

There is a flip tax of 0.75% of the purchase price paid by purchaser.
