Property Description for 153 West 85th Street, 3

TERRACED TOWNHOUSE


THIS IS A JUMBO FLOOR-THROUGH 1 BEDROOM


WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE - PRIVATE TERRACE - SOULFUL BROWNSTONE BEAUTY


After a hectic day conquering Gotham, you need to relax – you need a peaceful, inspiring, lovely environment in which to unwind & regroup.


You dream of the home with a bit of everything – an open kitchen, oversized rooms, good light, a working fireplace, exposed brick, a private terrace, a washer/dryer, and more – all on a pretty, tree-lined Upper Westside block that's close to everything and nestled within a classic, beautiful, pet-friendly 1890's townhouse.


Does this urban oasis exist?


Can you really have everything you want in a home?


Yes you can.


Welcome to 153 West 85th Street.


With its generous scale, its comfortable layout, its soaring ceilings, and its two exposures at both ends of this floor-through home (cross breezes, anyone?), this residence is easy to live and so easy to love.


This soulful sweetheart has a bit of everything. The large living room — with wood-burning fireplace and exposed brick — is the access point to the pretty private terrace — a secret escape ideal for your inner-botanist and al fresco dining. The open designer kitchen, with its stone counters and copper sink, offers premium appliances (with washer/dryer!) and a stone capped dining bar. The peaceful, super-sized, sunny, South-facing bedroom is a smartly presented, sweet retreat that gives you ample closets/storage space, room for all of your growing needs, and is served by an attractive bath.


Two quick flights up, this supremely located townhouse — close to every area shopping, dining, and cultural destination, and equidistant between both Central and Riverside Parks — will soothe your senses and warm your heart.


Your soulful retreat awaits.

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.
