Property Description
135 West 79th Street, PHAB
A spectacular penthouse with an extraordinary private roof terrace in one of the Upper West Side's most coveted locations.
Perched on the penthouse level of The Lyons, this beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence combines sophisticated design, exceptional light and an extraordinary 1,400+ square feet of private outdoor space. The apartment has undergone a top-to-bottom renovation executed with an uncompromising eye for quality, incorporating high-end finishes, white solid-oak flooring, custom millwork, multiple built-in storage systems and central air conditioning.
Flooded with natural light, the gracious interior is designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Two dramatic skylights rise to an impressive 12'4", further enhancing the sense of volume and bringing sunlight deep into the home. The apartment is also wired for both audio and a sophisticated in-home theater system.
The well-proportioned primary bedroom offers a true suite-like retreat, with a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom, a dedicated home office and direct access to the roof deck. The second bedroom is equally versatile and can accommodate guests, family or additional workspace. Throughout the apartment, custom storage and millwork provide both functionality and a clean, refined aesthetic.
But it is the spectacular private roof deck that truly sets PHAB apart. Facing south and measuring more than 1,400 square feet, this extraordinary outdoor oasis is large enough to comfortably accommodate four separate seating areas, creating distinct spaces for dining, lounging, entertaining and enjoying the sun. It is an exceptionally rare amenity in this prime Upper West Side location.
The renovated kitchen is outfitted with premium Bosch, Liebherr and Bertazzoni appliances, complementing the apartment's high level of finish and attention to detail.
The Lyons
Built in 1914 and designed by architect Robert T. Lyons, 135 West 79th Street is a handsome 12-story prewar cooperative known as The Lyons. The building features a distinctive brown-brick facade with a two-story rusticated limestone base and full-height rusticated quoins. Its recently restored lobby incorporates marble and mosaic detailing, and the building retains the gracious proportions and architectural character associated with classic Upper West Side apartment houses. The cooperative was converted in 1983 and contains approximately 53 residences.
Building amenities include two elevators, a live-in superintendent, bicycle storage and a large laundry room, while the cooperative is pet-friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership.
The location is exceptional. West 79th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues is a particularly attractive, tree-lined residential block, just a short distance from Central Park and Theodore Roosevelt Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and the restaurants, cafés, shopping and gourmet food markets that define the Upper West Side. The 1, B and C subway lines are conveniently nearby, providing easy access throughout Manhattan.
PHAB is an unusually special offering: a sophisticated, turnkey penthouse with exceptional light, high-end renovation, private outdoor space on a remarkable scale, and a location that places the very best of the Upper West Side just outside your door.
