About this property

117 West 85th Street is an historic three-family brownstone designed and constructed in 1891 by the architect John G. Prague in the Queen Anne and Renaissance Revival styles. The current configuration is a spacious owner’s triplex with two one-bedroom floor-throughs above.

The bright and airy triplex, which occupies the garden, parlor and third floors of the building, features four bedrooms, a home office, two private outdoors spaces, stunning original details which have been beautifully maintained and restored throughout the years, soaring ceilings, and a wine room and cedar closets in the cellar. The one-bedroom apartments consist of large bedrooms and living rooms, abundant natural light, and great ceiling heights. The fourth floor unit has a private terrace, while the fifth floor apartment has updated finishes and a washer/dryer in unit.

This townhome is conveniently located in close proximity to Central and Riverside Parks, excellent schools, fine dining and retail, The Museum of Natural History, and public transportation. Delivered vacant, this property offers ideal flexibility for a live-with-income user, an investor, or a buyer looking to convert to a luxurious single-family home.
