Property Description for 311 West 85th Street, 3

MOST SOULFUL HOME IN TOWN: PARK-BLOCK, TREE-LINE FLOOR-THROUGH w/WORKING FIREPLACE, SOARING CEILINGS, & ALL DAY SUNSHINE

PRETTY & PEACEFUL PRE-WAR - OPEN KITCHEN w/DINING BAR – SPLIT BEDROOMS - STUNNING BAY WINDOW

When you arrive at this handsome, early Twentieth Century townhouse, you’ll be impressed with its heart-warming facade as you look up to its signature bay window on the treetops.

When you enter this magnificent, designer-renovated, two-bedroom, floor-through home, you’ll be more than impressed. Your heart will melt, and you’ll see it: The sweet and soulful home behind the bay window.

You’ll also see lively evenings entertaining your friends in your open living/dining room with majestic 10' ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace; you’ll see big, bright windows with verdant views of the treetops; a reading nook; an attractive dining area; and an effortless kitchen with stainless appliances and a dining bar. You’ll see lively dinners with friends, and cozy, contemplative evenings recharging by the fire in your prime, pre-war, Riverside Park-block home.

You’ll see relaxing nights and sweet mornings in your tranquil bedrooms – nicely scaled rooms with comfortable character and 9' tall doors: The guest bedroom overlooks neighboring gardens, and the primary bedroom — with its stunning Pariasian, overscaled bay window — looks South onto treetops and brownstones, and boasts impressive, practical storage (courtesy of this happy home’s good closets and super-high ceilings).

You’ll see a boutique building with bike and laundry areas whose enviable park-block location comes with bragging rights: Moments away are most every area cultural, shopping, dining, fitness, and entertainment destination — not to mention Riverside Park, and a plethora of easy transportation options.

Sure, you’ll see all of this, but — most importantly — you’ll feel it. You’ll feel alive and inspired — you’ll feel good. You’ll feel right at home.

(Pets & Pied-a-terres not welcome.)

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.
