Description
Perched above a quiet, tree-lined Upper West Side block, Apartment 4 at 139 West 85th Street is a charming one-bedroom, one-bathroom duplex in an intimate prewar co-op. The main level is full of character, with soaring 12-foot beamed ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors throughout, and oversized south-facing windows that flood the space with unobstructed natural light. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room and adds to the apartments classic brownstone charm. The separate kitchen features granite countertops, upgraded appliances, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage. A spiral staircase leads upstairs to the private full-floor bedroom suite, which enjoys the same bright southern exposure along with a built-in bookshelf and great separation from the living space below. A spacious bathroom, wrapped in marble from floor to walls, brings a polished finish to the upper level. 139 West 85th Street is an intimate walk-up co-op with laundry in the basement. Located between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, the building is just a few blocks from Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and the 1, B and C trains, with great dining, shopping, and neighborhood conveniences all close by. Pets are welcome. Co-purchasing and parents purchasing for children are permitted on a case-by-case basis. Pied--terres are not permitted. Subletting is permitted for 2 out of every 5 years after two years of residency. 1% flip tax, paid by the seller. All dimensions and measurements are estimates. We support Fair Housing.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
