Property Description for 272 West 86th Street, 3-E

A Luxurious 3-bed, 3-bath duplex in one-of-a-kind townhouse discreetly tucked behind a historic 19th century facade.

This unique 2,283-square-foot duplex home spans two floors of luxury, featuring a three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout that seamlessly combines timeless elegance and contemporary design, adorned with interiors by Barry Rice Architects.

The striking first impression begins in the large living room on the main level, with three large bow windows offering a picturesque view of a Landmarked church, automated shades, high ceilings with beams, and hardwood floors. Elegant and open chef's kitchen is equipped with Italian custom cabinetry and stonework, a Wolf six-burner range, Sub Zero fridge, a Bosch dishwasher, and a wine cooler.

Upstairs awaits a spacious primary bedroom with an oversized en-suite marble bathroom, walk-in California custom closets, and three large bow windows which optimize the natural light. Opposite the primary suite, you will find a hallway where the laundry room and third bathroom with a soaking tub await, followed by two more large bedrooms that are also outfitted with California closets and automated blackout shades. This floor also has a separate entrance that leads right into the upper floor from the elevator, making access easier without having to use the stairs.

The apartment comes with a storage cage, trash chute, and recycling on each floor, and offers 24-hour doorman service. Its unbeatable location puts you in the heart of the city near major transportation, restaurants, Riverside, and Central Park.

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.
