Property Description for 214 West 85th Street, 5-E

This is it! Your newly built and blooming professionally landscaped oasis awaits you atop your new home. 214 W 85 is part of 7 buildings forming 1 co-op (53 units) on the south side of W 85th Street which is a lovely tree-lined desirable block in the heart of the UWS. This roofdeck takes all the worry away from watering the flowers with its own irrigation system and elongates the evening w overhead lighting. The no maintenance Trex decking measures 20'X20' and is shared w the next door neighbor with 1/2 belonging to each owner. The planters are on moveable casters to provide flexibility in set up should you decide to throw a larger party!
The apartment as seen from photos and video is in excellent renovated condition with the bonus of having a vented washer-dryer in the kitchen. As this is a top floor WALK-UP 4 flights), the co-op allows stroller and bike storage for just $7.50/month on the first floor.
The original layout was 3 BRs (see alternate floor plan). It is currently set up as 2 larger BRs and can be restored by moving one wall. The apartment is very quiet as it only shares the kitchen wall with the neighbor. The master bedroom has a skylight and a decorative fireplace with its walk-thru closet and private windowed bath. It accommodates a king sized bed with lots of room to spare. CityQuiet windows are installed in this room to ensure total tranquility. There is a renovated full guest windowed bath w a tub. The second BR currently serves as bedroom/ home office (fits both a bed and desk easily) and has a large closet w overhead storage. The apartment gets excellent light all day long with north, east and south exposures.
There are visiting superintendent services, storage lockers in the basement ($40/mo - waiting list), and maintenance has been historically low. Pets are welcome w board approval. Contract signed

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.
