Property Description for 119 West 85th Street, 5

Gorgeous Brownstone Top Floor Apartment Brimming with Charm | Quintessential Upper West Side A sun-splashed co-op nestled in a historic Brownstone less than two blocks from Central Park, this top-floor 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is an enchanting European dream in the heart of the Upper West Side. Beams of northern and southern light spill through the elegant dormer window and several skylights onto new gleaming oak floors. 10-foot high ceilings with a vaulted portion, exposed redbrick accents, and custom built-ins add character, functionality, and charm. Additional features include an updated bathroom, thru-wall A/C, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a skylit office nook perfect for today's work-from-home lifestyle. There is behind-the-wall storage that spans the width of the apartment, and the home also comes with an extra-large storage unit in the basement—included in the maintenance. Up three flights of stairs with restored turn-of-the-century details, residents enter into a bright open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space saturated with southern light. The living room has a wall of built-ins, while the skylit kitchen is adorned with an eat-in breakfast bar, sleek granite countertops, ample cabinet space, and stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms are pin drop quiet and overlook a private backyard. The primary bedroom boasts a skylit walk-in closet and a wall of chic built-ins, and the second bedroom has a deep closet. There is a bright white tiled bathroom with a skylit shower/bathtub. An additional hall closet completes the home. Built at the turn of the 20th century by renowned architect John G. Prague, 119 West 85th Street is a self-managed brownstone co-op with just seven units and low monthlies. The building sits just over a block from Central Park, and it is moments from dozens of trendy restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. The American Museum of Natural History and Riverside Park are also close by. Nearby subway lines include the 1/B/C. No pet policy in place with possible exception with approval – please ask further.

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.
