176 W 86th Street #9-B

A duplex loft condo unlike anything else on the Upper West Side. Welcome home to Residence #9B at The Packard Condominium; a unique offering in a supreme location. Carefully curated and expertly renovated in 2020, no detail was left unattended in creating a functional, comfortable oasis. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by soaring 15' ceilings and massive Western-facing windows that flood the space with warmth and light. Electronic shades allow for easy control of the light in the apartment. The main living & dining areas flow effortlessly, from the dining nook with built-in banquette and seating for at least six, to the cleverly tucked away LG combination washer/dryer, to the built-in entertainment center. There are white oak hardwood floors throughout, and multiple PTAC units keep the home's temperature perfectly regulated, no matter the season. The open kitchen is a home-chef's dream. It features a suite of top-of-the line finishes and appliances; including a Bosch induction cooktop, oven, and refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, Caesarstone countertops, stainless steel sink, and under-cabinet lighting. A teak-wrapped pull-out pantry provides additional storage and seamlessly integrates into the aesthetic of the neighboring primary bathroom. With Italian limestone throughout, a natural stone sink, wall-mounted toilet, and Turkish steam shower; this bathroom is truly a trip to the spa right at home. Climb the open staircase to the mezzanine level, which is home to the apartment's two bedrooms and a sensational walk-in closet. The custom teak cabinetry continues throughout this level, where in the primary bedroom, custom wallpaper transports you to a cozy retreat that feels far away from the busy city streets below. The frosted glass panels in this room rotate, allowing you to open it up to the main living space, or to close it off for extra privacy. The adjacent walk-in closet features even more custom cabinetry and abundant storage space. The second bedroom is perfect for a work-from-home setup, guest bedroom, or whatever else you may need. The Packard Condominium is a highly sought-after, boutique building with only 47 apartments spread over 11 floors. There is a full-time doorman, keyed elevator, and a central laundry room. The building is pet-friendly. Situated right at the heart of the best that the Upper West Side has to offer, you are blocks away from Central and Riverside Parks, as well as the 1/B/C trains at 86th Street.
