Description

A renovated two-family townhouse nestled less than two blocks from Central Park, this 7-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers the flexibility to be used as either a spacious single-family residence or maintained as a two-family property with income potential. 

The property is currently occupied by a tenant through April 2026, generating strong rental income-providing a turnkey investment opportunity for end users or investors

The townhouse is a  seamless blend of contemporary convenience and classic charm, featuring a beautifully preserved brownstone and redbrick façade, beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings with crown molding, classic sash windows, chic built-ins, a private backyard patio, and a collection of lovely details including marble fireplaces and hand-laid floor tiles. Modern upgrades include a new central air system, fully renovated bathrooms throughout, and a smart home system allowing total control from your phone.

The home is currently configured as two private units with separate entrances but can easily function as a single-family townhouse via an existing interior staircase. The upper triplex boasts five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and access to the private patio. The parlor floor opens into an elegant entry hall with wainscoting and a chandelier and flows into a gorgeous eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, stone tile backsplashes, custom glass-fronted cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a breakfast nook with built-in banquette seating. Formal living and dining rooms complete the level.

The primary bedroom sits on the third floor and features a pair of reach-in closets and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom that leads into a second bedroom and includes double sinks, a walk-in shower, and a free-standing soaking tub. The fourth floor houses the remaining three bedrooms, a laundry room, and a full bathroom with a step-in shower and separate soaking tub.

The garden level includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, a large living and dining area, a pristine full bath with a large vanity and brass fixtures, and a spotless kitchen equipped with marble countertops, white cabinetry, a convenient pass-through, and a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances.

Situated in the heart of the Upper West Side, 120 West 87th Street is moments from the restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops that line Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. It sits between Riverside and Central Parks, and is close to the American Museum of Natural History and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Nearby subway lines include the 1/B/C.
