Description

Delivered vacant and all units are free market!

Offered for sale is 36 West 85th Street, a six-story townhouse located on a prime Upper West Side Park Block. Built in 1897 and designed by quintessential Upper West Side architect George F. Pelham, this Renaissance Revival home is currently configured as five free market apartments. Measuring approximately 6,528 square feet, this substantial property presents a terrific opportunity for a conversion to a single family home or a custom live-with-income scenario. There is also potential for continued use as an investment property with this well located multi-family building.

A coveted six-story townhouse, 36 West 85th Street enjoys beautiful southern exposures above the view break from the top floor and roof. The building retains its stoop and dual entrances, runs on electric systems only (including heat and individual hot water heaters for each apartment), and has a staircase that extends all the way to the roof.

The current five-family configuration includes an owners duplex on the garden and parlor floors, along with four full-floor apartments; two 2-bedrooms and two 1-bedrooms. The duplex apartment contains two to three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a laundry room, ample storage, a renovated kitchen, and exclusive access to the home's private, south-facing garden. The four remaining simplex apartments all have similar configurations, with the 2-bedroom apartments on the third and fourth floor both enjoying a beautiful bow window overlooking an exemplary streetscape.
