Property Description for 329 West 85th Street, 2-A

329 W 85th St. is one of 5 landmarked row houses that were built between 1890-91 by well known architect Ralph S. Townsend. They are nearly identical in design and provide an architecturally rich anchor on the block between WEA/RSD. There are approximately 40 apartments in this boutique co-op which allows up to 80% financing and is pet friendly with board approval. The live-in supt. is lovingly known as the Mayor of 85th Street and residents rely on his help to accept packages, handyman tasks, and other important services. He is a well-respected member of the block community.

Apt. 2A is just 1 short flight up and provides the perfect treetop view of the street. All windows face south so even on a gloomy day, it's still bright. The living room triple window is framed at the top by the original restored stained glass. The kitchen has a Miele D/W, ample cabinetry and pale green granite countertops. The bath has been updated w Waterworks accessories and has a tub with shower. The ceilings soar at just over 12' allowing for excellent storage space in both the living room and bedroom accessible by a library ladder. It's also possible to enlarge the storage space in the living room for use as a sleeping loft or home office as some have done. W/D can be added with board approval. The floors are hard wood and in excellent condition.

Transportation of every kind is 2 blocks away and cabs are never a problem on WEA. Riverside Park is half a block to the west providing dog walking, running & biking convenience. Supermarkets, Zabar's, health clubs, movies, laundromat, shopping & restaurants all within 5 blocks along Broadway. Location can't be beat!

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.
