Property Description for 225 West 86th Street, 608

A rare opportunity at the iconic Belnord. Residence 608 comes with architectural plans for a sprawling 3-bedroom, 3-bath home, already approved by both the Board and the DOB.

At the heart of the plan is an enormous eat-in kitchen designed as a true gathering space for cooking, dining, media, and lounging. It flows beautifully into the oversized double living room, creating the kind of scale and connectivity that is so rare in New York City living. With approvals in place, a future owner is spared much of the time, expense, and uncertainty typically involved in creating a home of this caliber.

The footprint offers even greater flexibility. A separate conceptual mock-up shows how the apartment could be reimagined as a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home.

Today, the apartment is configured as an expansive 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence with 2 fireplaces, a home office, eat-in kitchen, and formal dining room. Tremendous scale, beautiful sunlight, high ceilings, and classic prewar character make it a spectacular canvas for any vision.

The Belnord is one of the Upper West Side's most coveted addresses, pairing landmark prewar architecture with more than 30,000 square feet of exceptional indoor and outdoor amenities. Residents enter through its gated porte cochère into the landscaped courtyard and enjoy 24-hour attended lobbies, a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga and Pilates studios, a double-height sports court, residents' lounge, private dining room with chef's kitchen, and dedicated children's and teen spaces.

Residence 608 is the chance to create a magnificent home in one of New York's most extraordinary buildings, with the hardest work already behind you.

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.
