40 W 77Th St

A landmarked 16-story prewar cooperative constructed in 1928 and designed in a Neo‑Renaissance/Edwardian idiom, this white‑glove building occupies the Park Block of West 77th Street directly opposite the American Museum of Natural History. The facade and restored marble lobby retain historic details; elevator service and a staffed entry provide full‑service concierge-level access. Residences are classic prewar layouts—ranging from two-bedroom apartments to expansive four-bedroom Classic Six and Seven plans—with high beamed ceilings, hardwood and parquet floors, generous entrance galleries, formal dining rooms, and oversized picture windows framing park and museum views. Many units include eat‑in kitchens, staff rooms that can convert to offices, and in-unit washer/dryer installations where updated. Common building amenities emphasize service and practical storage: full‑time doorman, live‑in superintendent, central laundry, bike room, and private storage (subject to availability). Pets and pied‑a‑terre ownership are permitted and the board allows up to 75% financing. Street‑level access places residents half a block from Central Park, nearby dining and shops along Columbus Avenue and Broadway, and multiple transit lines, delivering a culturally rich Upper West Side lifestyle centered on parkfront living and museum vistas.
