Description
Gorgeous Brownstone Top Floor Apartment Brimming with Charm | Quintessential Upper West Side A sun-splashed co-op nestled in a historic Brownstone less than two blocks from Central Park, this top-floor 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is an enchanting European dream in the heart of the Upper West Side. Beams of northern and southern light spill through the elegant dormer window and several skylights onto new gleaming oak floors. 10-foot high ceilings with a vaulted portion, exposed redbrick accents, and custom built-ins add character, functionality, and charm. Additional features include an updated bathroom, thru-wall A/C, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a skylit office nook perfect for today's work-from-home lifestyle. There is behind-the-wall storage that spans the width of the apartment, and the home also comes with an extra-large storage unit in the basement—included in the maintenance. Up three flights of stairs with restored turn-of-the-century details, residents enter into a bright open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space saturated with southern light. The living room has a wall of built-ins, while the skylit kitchen is adorned with an eat-in breakfast bar, sleek granite countertops, ample cabinet space, and stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms are pin drop quiet and overlook a private backyard. The primary bedroom boasts a skylit walk-in closet and a wall of chic built-ins, and the second bedroom has a deep closet. There is a bright white tiled bathroom with a skylit shower/bathtub. An additional hall closet completes the home. Built at the turn of the 20th century by renowned architect John G. Prague, 119 West 85th Street is a self-managed brownstone co-op with just seven units and low monthlies. The building sits just over a block from Central Park, and it is moments from dozens of trendy restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. The American Museum of Natural History and Riverside Park are also close by. Nearby subway lines include the 1/B/C. No pet policy in place with possible exception with approval – please ask further.
