This pin-drop quiet top-floor home boasts 3 exposures, north, south, and west creating wonderful gentle breezes, and just a few steps up to enjoy your private roof deck. This residence exudes pre-war perfection with perfectly restored details coupled with a superb renovation. A gracious entry gallery leads you to a generous combined living and dining room boasting exposed brick, high ceilings, and pre-war details. The open floor plan is ideal for comfortable living and entertaining. The third bedroom is separated from the living room by handsome custom cabinetry and pocket doors creating a flexible space for larger living, a home office, a media room, or a guest room. The windowed eat-in kitchen has large slab Caesarstone counters, custom solid wood cabinetry, an abundance of storage, a splendid glass backsplash, and the best high-end stainless-steel appliances. The vented washer/dryer is also conveniently housed in the kitchen. The primary suite is located on the opposite end of this floor-through home creating excellent privacy and separation. The grand-sized bedroom accommodates plenty of room for a separate seating area and a home office. The room boasts beautiful views of historic West 85th Street through oversized windows, exposed brick, and an enormous custom-built walk-in closet. The windowed primary bath features a clean and modern renovation with floor-to-ceiling tiling, a floating vanity, and a large glass-enclosed rain shower. The second and third bedrooms share a renovated, windowed bath. Additional features of this fantastic apartment include new solid wood floors, great storage, central AC, 11 windows, beautiful pre-war details, and legal rights to one half of the roof deck shared with only one other neighbor making the walk-up more than worth the trip! 214 W 85th St is part of a historic, 7-building boutique walk-up co-op, located on a quintessential tree-lined, Upper West Side block between Amsterdam and Broadway. The pet-friendly building permits 80% financing and provides separate bike and locker storage for rent (if available).
