Common features include hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and washer/dryer hookups. Many units boast expansive living and dining areas, eat-in kitchens, and ample closet space. Some apartments offer unique features such as semi-private elevator landings and private entrances.

Building amenities include a 24/7 doorman, handyman, porter, resident super, and a full-service laundry facility in the basement. The location is ideal for those who enjoy shopping and dining, with Fairway, Citarella, and Zabar's nearby, as well as cultural landmarks like Lincoln Center and The American Museum of Natural History within walking distance.

Conveniently situated at the corner of 79th and Broadway, the building provides easy access to the subway, cross-town bus, and the West Side Highway, making commutes to any destination straightforward.
