Property Description for 161 West 86th Street, 10-A
Amazing sun flooded 10 room home.
Soaring 10 foot ceilings, huge Windows and light in absolutely every room, including the staff quarters and kitchen, this apartment is a one of a kind home.
Off a semi private landing, enter into this wonderful home. Various configurations are possible, because the "bones," window size, ceiling heights and light allow many possibilities.
The oversized living room faces South onto wide 86th street, with great light and city views. There are 2 large bedrooms that also face South and are serviced by a windowed bathroom. What is currently an enormous windowed gallery with open West views can be a dining room, den or divided and made into a bedroom as well. The current formal dining room also faces open West, over the landmarked church. There are 2 more bedrooms, one which faces West and another that faces West and North, all with open exposures. The large sun filled kitchen also faces open North as do the 2 staff rooms.
From this special space, a traditional or contemporary home can be created. While requiring renovation, it is indeed rare to find a space that can easily accommodate 4-5 bedrooms plus wonderful living and entertaining space.
Central air conditioning is allowed with board approval and pets are welcome. There is a private storage bin and bike room as well.
161 w 86th Street is a boutique elegant prewar cooperative with doormen, resident manager and stunning planted roof deck.

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.
