Location
117 West 85th Street is a historic three-family brownstone built in 1891 and designed by architect John G. Prague in the Queen Anne and Renaissance Revival styles. The property is currently configured as an expansive owner’s triplex with two one-bedroom, full-floor apartments above.
The light-filled owner’s triplex spans the garden, parlor, and third floors and offers four bedrooms, a home office, and two private outdoor spaces. Throughout the residence, original architectural details have been carefully preserved and restored, complemented by high ceilings, a wine room, and cedar closets located in the cellar. The upper one-bedroom residences feature generously sized living and bedroom spaces, excellent ceiling heights, and abundant natural light. The fourth-floor unit includes a private terrace, while the fifth-floor apartment offers updated finishes and an in-unit washer and dryer.
Ideally situated near Central Park and Riverside Park, the home is also close to top-rated schools, renowned dining and shopping, the Museum of Natural History, and convenient public transportation. This property provides exceptional flexibility for an owner-occupant seeking rental income, an investor, or a buyer interested in converting the building into a luxurious single-family residence.
