19 W 85TH Street #PARLOR1A

Rarely available and on the market for the first time in almost 20 years, this grand parlor floor jewel will enchant you. Located in a handsome limestone townhouse right off Central Park West, this beauty is an easy 2nd floor walk-up. Three oversized south-facing windows frame this sun drenched, loft-like space, rich in prewar architectural details. A window seat offers views down tree-lined West 85th Street. Ceilings soar to twelve feet and feature ornate plaster moldings. There is a white brick wood burning fireplace to keep you warm on cold winter nights and built-in bookcases and cabinetry to hold your favorite books and things. Other features of this elegant home include a windowed galley kitchen with dishwasher, an updated bathroom with pedestal sink and marble tile floors, a huge walk-in closet/dressing room with custom built-ins, and a Murphy bed with overhead storage. 19 West 85th Street is a self-managed, 9-unit cooperative with no underlying mortgage and low maintenance charges. Built in 1896, the interiors of this 5-story townhouse were completely renovated in 2006. Free laundry facilities are located in the basement. Supremely located on a quintessential Upper West Side block, Central Park's Great Lawn and Reservoir are just moments away and offer some of the best skyline views in the Park. The B/C subway and M86 crosstown bus are right around the corner. Tarallucci e Vino, Joe Coffee, Birdbath Bakery, and Book Culture are just a few of the many restaurants and shops to enjoy in the neighborhood. This magical, charming, one-of-kind home is not to be missed. Broker/Owner.
