Description

IMMACULATELY RENOVATED, sun-drenched duplex with PRIVATE TERRACE, WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE and IN-UNIT WASHER/DRYER.

This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is defined by its architectural character, featuring exceptionally high ceilings, original exposed brick and stunning wood-beam detail in a historic Upper West Side brownstone. This residence is designed for a buyer seeking an intimate, move-in-ready sanctuary with a functional layout and dedicated outdoor space for work-from-home, entertaining or relaxation.

Just two flights up from the building lobby, enter into a living and dining area measuring 17'8" x 16'2", with nearly 11-foot ceilings, solid oak floors and a wood-burning fireplace. The open kitchen is finished with recently updated cabinetry, granite countertops and a high-end stainless steel appliance suite including an Electrolux hybrid induction/radiant four-burner cooktop, matching wall oven, Miele dishwasher, Samsung French-door refrigerator and LG microwave. Also on this level is a second bedroom with dual closets.

The upper-level primary suite includes a bedroom measuring 16'8" x 12'1", a full bath and an in-unit washer and dryer. The upper level is accessible via both the interior spiral staircase as well as the exterior hallway. The primary bedroom provides direct access to the 12'4" x 8'2" private terrace, overlooking a quiet, interior courtyard.

143 West 85th Street is a 5-story, pre-war brownstone walk-up containing only five units. The building is an impeccably well-run, self-managed cooperative with low monthly costs, where each of the five owners holds a board seat and shares management and decision-making responsibilities. Amenities include bike storage and common laundry in the basement at no additional cost. The board is flexible and will consider most ownership structures. Pets are permitted, and pied-à-terre use is allowed. Subletting is permitted after an initial two-year period of ownership, with board approval.

Located on a tree-lined block between Columbus and Amsterdam avenues, the apartment is one block from Central Park and a short walk to the American Museum of Natural History. Neighborhood staples such as Trader Joe's, Zabar's and Fairway Market are all within walking distance for convenient grocery shopping. Local dining favorites-including Motorino, Spiga, Elea and Celeste- offer a consistent neighborhood feel for residents. Transportation is right nearby, with the 1 train accessible at 86th Street in one direction and the B/C trains at 86th in the other. The neighborhood is also served by the M86 crosstown bus, the M7, M11, M10 and M104, as well as nearby Citi Bike stations.

Lic. RE Salesperson Lisa Fleisher has an ownership interest in this property.
