Property Description for 36 West 85th Street
Delivered vacant and all units are free market!
Offered for sale is 36 West 85th Street, a six-story townhouse located on a prime Upper West Side Park Block. Built in 1897 and designed by quintessential Upper West Side architect George F. Pelham, this Renaissance Revival home is currently configured as five free market apartments. Measuring approximately 6,528 square feet, this substantial property presents a terrific opportunity for a conversion to a single family home or a custom live-with-income scenario. There is also potential for continued use as an investment property with this well located multi-family building.
A coveted six-story townhouse, 36 West 85th Street enjoys beautiful southern exposures above the view break from the top floor and roof. The building retains its stoop and dual entrances, runs on electric systems only (including heat and individual hot water heaters for each apartment), and has a staircase that extends all the way to the roof.
The current five-family configuration includes an owners duplex on the garden and parlor floors, along with four full-floor apartments; two 2-bedrooms and two 1-bedrooms. The duplex apartment contains two to three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a laundry room, ample storage, a renovated kitchen, and exclusive access to the home's private, south-facing garden. The four remaining simplex apartments all have similar configurations, with the 2-bedroom apartments on the third and fourth floor both enjoying a beautiful bow window overlooking an exemplary streetscape.

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.
