Description

One-of-a-Kind Garden Sanctuary on the Upper West Side. Welcome home to 48 West 86th Street. A stunning 3 bedroom garden duplex on the Upper West Side, within a block of Central Park, and with the most amazing private outdoor oasis - nearly 500sf of outdoor living complete with dining pergola, an outdoor grill, a pond with waterfall - all of which is surrounded by lush and mature bamboo for privacy. This chic townhouse-style duplex home is move-in ready and offers an incredibly unique NYC experience - dramatic ceilings up to 20-ft, three spacious bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a solarium, a wood-burning fireplace, and a gorgeous private garden retreat. The natural gas grill tempts you to indulge in al fresco dining; the wisteria-draped pergola invites you to dinner parties. And it’s all totally yours. Enter the apartment directly from the building's gorgeous (and newly renovated) lobby and be wowed. Open the door and take your breath away with a double-height living room, dramatic staircase, dining solarium with built-in bar, ice machine, wine fridge, well-appointed kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, lounge, brand new full-sized washer and dryer (vented!), elegant finishes, the list goes on… The open and airy layout creates a seamless flow throughout the home. Upstairs. Downstairs. Take your pick. They’re both great. Enhance it all with Sonos music that plays throughout the house, multi-zone heating and cooling (with newly-installed brand new central air conditioning), incredible storage, and more. Location is everything, and this home truly has it all. This stunning coop with 5 residences is within a block of Central Park; you will become accustomed to the beauty and tranquility of nature right at your doorstep (and in your backyard!) In addition to the proximity to New York City's most coveted amenity (Central Park), there is an amazing array of restaurants and conveniences in the immediate neighborhood, as well as easy transportation options for getting around the City seamlessly. Recent capital improvements include a new roof and lobby renovation. A new elevator is being installed. There is a current assessment of $1159/month thru December 2026.
