Property Description for 19 West 85th Street, 1-A

Rarely available and on the market for the first time in almost 20 years, this grand parlor floor jewel will enchant you. Located in a handsome limestone townhouse right off Central Park West, this beauty is an easy 2nd floor walk-up. Three oversized south-facing windows frame this sun drenched, loft-like space, rich in prewar architectural details. A window seat offers views down tree-lined West 85th Street. Ceilings soar to twelve feet and feature ornate plaster moldings. There is a white brick wood burning fireplace to keep you warm on cold winter nights and built-in bookcases and cabinetry to hold your favorite books and things. Other features of this elegant home include a windowed galley kitchen with dishwasher, an updated bathroom with pedestal sink and marble tile floors, a huge walk-in closet/dressing room with custom built-ins, and a Murphy bed with overhead storage. 19 West 85th Street is a self-managed, 9-unit cooperative with no underlying mortgage and low maintenance charges. Built in 1896, the interiors of this 5-story townhouse were completely renovated in 2006. Free laundry facilities are located in the basement. Supremely located on a quintessential Upper West Side block, Central Park's Great Lawn and Reservoir are just moments away and offer some of the best skyline views in the Park. The B/C subway and M86 crosstown bus are right around the corner. Tarallucci e Vino, Joe Coffee, Birdbath Bakery, and Book Culture are just a few of the many restaurants and shops to enjoy in the neighborhood. This magical, charming, one-of-kind home is not to be missed. Broker/Owner.

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.
