221 West 77th Street, #16 – A Refined Full-Floor Home with Open City Views and Private Terrace
3,300 Sq Ft Interior / 4 Bedrooms / 3 Baths / Powder Room / South- and West-Facing Terrace
Private Full-Floor Residence with Sweeping Views and Handcrafted Finishes

Welcome to Residence #16 at 221 West 77th Street — a rare, full-floor home offering approximately 3,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed interior space, a private elevator landing, and a beautifully landscaped terrace with open exposures to the south and west, including river views. Spacious, light-filled living areas serve as an ideal backdrop for art, entertaining, and everyday living. Solid oak flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and Juliet balconies create a bright, elegant atmosphere with refined detail.

Designed for both sophisticated entertaining and daily comfort, the residence features a grand, south-facing living and dining space filled with natural light through casement-style windows-an integral element of Thomas Juul-Hansen’s architectural vision. The adjacent chef’s kitchen, hand-crafted in England by Smallbone of Devizes, is finished with hand-painted cabinetry and top-of-the-line Miele appliances, including a steam oven, speed oven, warming drawer, vented hood, wine refrigerator, two dishwashers, and separate refrigerator and freezer. Pietra Cardosa stone counters and backsplashes pair beautifully with a Potomac marble island table framed by walnut legs.

The current layout includes four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one powder room. The north-facing primary suite is a serene retreat offering open city views, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like marble bath with radiant heated floors, soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed rain shower. Each additional bedroom is well-proportioned and features en-suite access, walk-in closets, custom built-ins, and generous light.

A separate media room, currently configured as a den, offers flexible use and can be easily restored to the home’s original configuration: a five-bedroom, four-bathroom layout with a powder room and a south-facing primary suite. The flexible floor plan allows for seamless adaptation to meet various living needs.
Additional highlights include multi-zoned heating and cooling, custom millwork, solid oak floors, and private elevator access.
