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. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 4 - **Stories**: 12 - **Year Built**: 1914 - **Common Charges**: $1,910 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 8, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Ductless - Building Other - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - City Lights - City - Panoramic ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 15 apartments at 135 West 79th Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $630,000 in August 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side is $1,400,000, based on 273 sales between September 2024 and July 2026. This home is asking $2,175,000, $775,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,155,000 and $1,800,000. - **Median closed price**: $1,400,000 - **Middle half**: $1,155,000 – $1,800,000 - **Based on**: 273 co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side - **Period**: September 2024 – July 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 62 of these 273 sales (23%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 252 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.6% of what it originally asked. 66% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Upper West Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.6% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 66% of 252 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 73 days (about 10 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 87 days (about 12 weeks) Across the 252 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.6% of what it originally asked. 66% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 73 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 261 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 87 days (about 12 weeks), based on the 259 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 273 co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side, September 2024 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side, 2016 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $1,400,000 | 23 | | 2017 | $1,525,000 | 134 | | 2018 | $1,475,000 | 144 | | 2019 | $1,472,500 | 144 | | 2020 | $1,351,200 | 78 | | 2021 | $1,350,000 | 222 | | 2022 | $1,500,000 | 195 | | 2023 | $1,395,000 | 142 | | 2024 | $1,446,500 | 144 | | 2025 | $1,390,000 | 151 | | 2026 | $1,420,000 | 79 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Upper West Side instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
