Property Description for 120 West 87th Street
A renovated two-family townhouse nestled less than two blocks from Central Park, this 7-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers the flexibility to be used as either a spacious single-family residence or maintained as a two-family property with income potential.
The property is currently occupied by a tenant through April 2026, generating strong rental income-providing a turnkey investment opportunity for end users or investors
The townhouse is a seamless blend of contemporary convenience and classic charm, featuring a beautifully preserved brownstone and redbrick fa ade, beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings with crown molding, classic sash windows, chic built-ins, a private backyard patio, and a collection of lovely details including marble fireplaces and hand-laid floor tiles. Modern upgrades include a new central air system, fully renovated bathrooms throughout, and a smart home system allowing total control from your phone.
The home is currently configured as two private units with separate entrances but can easily function as a single-family townhouse via an existing interior staircase. The upper triplex boasts five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and access to the private patio. The parlor floor opens into an elegant entry hall with wainscoting and a chandelier and flows into a gorgeous eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, stone tile backsplashes, custom glass-fronted cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a breakfast nook with built-in banquette seating. Formal living and dining rooms complete the level.
The primary bedroom sits on the third floor and features a pair of reach-in closets and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom that leads into a second bedroom and includes double sinks, a walk-in shower, and a free-standing soaking tub. The fourth floor houses the remaining three bedrooms, a laundry room, and a full bathroom with a step-in shower and separate soaking tub.
The garden level includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, a large living and dining area, a pristine full bath with a large vanity and brass fixtures, and a spotless kitchen equipped with marble countertops, white cabinetry, a convenient pass-through, and a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances.
Situated in the heart of the Upper West Side, 120 West 87th Street is moments from the restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops that line Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. It sits between Riverside and Central Parks, and is close to the American Museum of Natural History and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Nearby subway lines include the 1/B/C.

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.
