Property Description for 29 West 85th Street, PH-4/5

Welcome home to the Penthouse at 29 West 85th street: a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom triplex featuring over 1,000 square feet of outdoor space spanning over 3 terraces, nestled atop a 20' wide historic limestone townhouse. Positioned on a quiet tree-lined street just a stone's throw from Central Park as well as iconic NYC institutions such as The Museum of Natural History, this residence offers the pinnacle of urban living, an extraordinary sanctuary where luxury meets tranquility.

The gracious layout features three full floors of living space, all with abundant natural light streaming through oversized windows from both the north and south. The crown jewel of the residence is the three outdoor spaces, which offer perfect indoor-outdoor living right in the heart of a big city. You'll never miss a gorgeous sunny day, or a stunning sunset, having unobstructed and protected views of Central Park and the NYC skyline, above a low-trafficked street that offers quietude and privacy.

The keyed-elevator opens directly into the 5th floor, where you are greeted with a gorgeous double height atrium. The chefs kitchen, complete with top of the line appliances, offers ample storage space and is perfect for entertaining or an intimate meal with its breakfast bar and dining enclave. Off of the kitchen is the first of three outdoor spaces, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or evening drinks.

From the kitchen, you are seamlessly drawn to a dining area which has room to seat 8-10 comfortably, and beyond that to the showstopping formal living room. Three oversized windows flood the living room with light, and a grand fireplace brings warmth to the space. To top it all off, a gorgeous glass staircase sits as the backdrop to the room.

The top floor offers 2 full rooftop decks, one on each the North and South side of the home, with gorgeous view of Central Park and the Upper West Side. Between them the floor offers a cozy den, full bathroom with shower, and a flexible room that can be used as either an office, or guest or nanny room.

Downstairs, the elegant primary suite has its own wood-burning fireplace and a 5 fixture spa-like bathroom, outfitted with a deep soaking tub, 2 overhead showerheads plus a handheld, dual vanity, heated toilet with bidet, built in sound system, heated floors, and gorgeous marble and tiling throughout. The suite also offers a large passthrough closet with significant storage space. Two secondary suites, a full bathroom, and full laundry room complete the floor.

Additionally, abundant storage solutions are seamlessly integrated throughout the living areas, and gorgeous hardwood floors are throughout the unit.

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.
