Description

Built in the late 1880s by local New York architect C. Steinmetz, 30 West 85th Street is a beautiful 21 foot wide Triple Mint Renovated Neo-Grecian style brownstone with Queen Anne Elements offering over 9,800 Sq Ft on 6 floors. This substantial home has been exquisitely restored as evidenced by the extensive level of contemporary comforts and the classic accents throughout. The magnificent home features a large elevator servicing all levels of the property including the fully finished basement and roof terrace. Multiple outdoor areas create a sense of light and space throughout crowned by a planted roof deck with Jacuzzi. There is a large three story rear extension that has been brilliantly incorporated into the original structure. With its proximity to Central Park half a block away and the grand scale seldom found in a New York City home, this house offers one the quintessential opportunity of city living.
