Property Description for 160 West 85th Street, 1-D

RARE OVER-SCALED HOME w/OWN PRIVATE ENTRANCE

STRETCH-OUT FLEXIBLE FIND w/BIG BONUS FLEX SPACE

LIVE-WORK OPTIONS WELCOME (case by case)

GIFTS, GUARANTORS, CO-PURCHASES & PIED-A-TERRES WELCOME (case by case)

WELL-RUN BOUTIQUE BUILDING w/SWEET BACKYARD GARDEN

You like the way a townhouse lives, but you need the services of a well-run, well served, supremely located, Pre-War, low-rise cooperative. You like the idea of having your own private entrance to your home – access that is ideal for your life’s needs, and access that offers you the potential for a live-work scenario (case by case). This rare residence offers you the feel of a townhouse with the conveniences of a well served building.

Big and unique, this flexible 4-room home offers an oversized living room with handsome period parquet Oak floors, and a smart, custom built-in. With an attractive, practical, upgraded windowed kitchen, and a windowed bath, this big residence offers two exposures, an expansive vibe, and something more…

The primary bedroom is peaceful and lovely, and is quite separate from the room that makes this home even more appealing. Down the hall from the main bedroom, well away from the private access door, just past the windowed bath and kitchen, just off of the huge living room, is the bonus space – a generously-scaled area currently configured as an extra guest space. This fourth “room” separates this home from the pack, and gives you flexibility – a prized area for all of your growing needs: Here is your guest area, home gym, home office, reception area, play space, media den, or whatever else you fancy.

This home has 2 entrances: one private stairway off of tree-lined West 85th Street (perfect for live-work option) that leads you to a heated vestibule (perfect for business guests’ entry and/or dog owners — plus bonus storage) — and another entrance off of the building’s terrifically upgraded lobby.

Situated in a sweet, 1948 mid-block, mid-century beauty with a live-in Super, laundry, storage, and bike racks, life here is easy and fun. Nearby is every area dining, shopping, fitness, entertainment, educational, and cultural destination — not to mention a plethora of convenient transportation options and equidistance between Central and Riverside Parks.

Live here, work here, stretch-out creatively here — your private access 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.
