Property Description for 257 West 86th Street, 3/4A
Grand Palatial Duplex in Intimate Turn of the Century Coop
Turn of the Century New York meets 1970s London. This unique residence has undergone a triple mint renovation and features finishes of the highest order. You are welcomed into the spectacular, dramatic 27 foot great room with soaring near 20 foot vaulted ceilings, two Juliet balconies and extraordinary double height North facing windows. A baronial limestone wood burning fireplace by Chesney anchors the room, making it perfect for elegant entertaining and casual living. Two custom spiral drizzle chandeliers by Ochre add to the dramatic effect. A powder room featuring gold and black Murano glass, custom brass fixtures and Calacatta marble is located off the entrance gallery. The large separate formal dining room has been transformed into a state-of-the-art media room. It flows into the huge and stunning windowed chef's eat-in kitchen featuring custom cabinets, antiqued zinc countertops and an island with antique marble top and vintage steel machine base complemented by Subzero refrigerator and wine refrigerators. There is magnificent flooring by Paris Ceramics and a six burner stove. The upper duplex features three bedrooms and two baths, a washer/dryer and an office. The expansive master bedroom features exquisite custom cabinetry and an abundance of storage. The luxurious en-suite master bath has Carrara marble double sinks, and a free-standing shower with finishes by Ann Sachs. No detail has been overlooked, including the restoration of the original radiators - works of art in themselves. Wrought iron French doors throughout add to the ambience of sophisticated style. This exceptional home also includes an abundance of storage space. Located in a very exclusive and intimate 1906 cooperative in the heart of the Upper Westside, this three bedroom, two and one-half bath duplex residence in triple mint condition offers a calm and quiet respite from the vibrant city outside. Additional features include newly fabricated moldings and new oak hardwood floors. There is a separate storage room. This is a wonderful building in which to live and 3/4A a wonderful apartment to make one's home.
The building was constructed in the neo-Renaissance style in 1906-07 by George Mort Pollard and Joseph L. Steinam and is a rare surviving example of an artists' studio building incorporating living and working spaces. Pollard and Steinam pioneered and specialized in the design of the studio apartment house. They are the architects of many of the studio buildings on historic West 67th Street, including the Hotel Des Artistes. Amenities include: Resident Manager, 24 hour elevator operator, laundry, storage and bike rooms. There is a planted rooftop garden terrace for residents. Superbly located and situated on a wide thoroughfare in one of the most sought-after, vibrant and historic neighborhoods of the Upper Westside. The subway is a half-block away and the crosstown bus is directly across the street. Restaurants and shops abound.

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.
