Property Description for 112 West 87th Street

An Upper West Side historic treasure, this spacious 5-story townhouse with unique exterior architectural features is rich with an abundance of original and elegant details. The grand and gracious home with high ceilings and large windows boasts approximately 5,368 square feet of interior space plus over 1,220 square feet in the finished basement and an additional 840 square feet of outdoor space. Ornate moldings, intricate wood work, and hardwood floors are found throughout. Furthermore, six decorative fireplaces with original mantelpieces and stunning tile work pay homage to a bygone era. Bright and cheerful, the parlor level makes quite a first impression with soaring ceiling heights of almost 13 feet and a stately library with a masterful exposed-brick wall and separate home office with custom built solid wood bookshelves and desk. An expansive sun-drenched formal living room on the second floor is perfect for entertaining guests and provides beautiful tree-top views while the majestic dining room can easily accommodate formal dinner parties fit for a king. Situated between the two rooms is a spacious, renovated kitchen with granite counters and lots of wood cabinets. Four oversized bedrooms - including one with a private terrace that has views of the peaceful garden - two full bathrooms and separate laundry room are located on the top two floors. The garden level, offering a great prospect for income, is currently occupied by a dental office that shares access to the basement, but this level could be transformed into part of a newly designed single-family residence. A sublime retreat, the landscaped garden in the back is the perfect hideaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Situated on a picturesque, tree-lined street, this gem is just one block from Central Park, multiple subway lines, and the crosstown bus. It is convenient to fine restaurants, cafes, charming fashion boutiques, grocery stores, parking, and the American Museum of Natural History. This is an estate sale for a townhouse that has been in the same family for generations and lovingly preserved for years. Take advantage of this exceptional opportunity to buy more for less in today's market and create your dream home.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
