An elegant three-family brownstone, offering a rare blend of historic character, modern luxury, exceptional outdoor space, and future development potential (2,255 FAR) in the heart of the Upper West Side. Garden & Parlor Level Duplex: The garden and parlor levels form a gracious owner's duplex, thoughtfully designed for entertaining and comfortable everyday living. A private balcony overlooks a tranquil outdoor space anchored by a stunning pink magnolia tree, creating a serene urban retreat. The renovated chef's kitchen is outfitted with a Viking wall-built stove with warming drawers, wine refrigerator, quartzite countertops, a built-in Miele espresso maker and integrated sound system. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room impresses with soaring 12-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace, oversized windows, and original wide-plank heart-of-pine floors. The living room is bathed in natural light from an oversized bay window framing views of the blooming magnolia in spring. A charming sitting area or library nook enhances the space, which flows seamlessly out to the balcony and down to the private backyard-perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The lower level of the duplex is dedicated to serene private quarters. The primary suite features an oversized spa-like bathroom with radiant heat flooring, a bidet toilet, a freestanding glass-enclosed shower, and a deep soaking tub. A full wall of closets offers exceptional storage, and the bath opens directly into a king-sized bedroom with a dedicated home office, overlooking the fully hardscape garden. Two additional bedrooms on this level share a beautifully renovated travertine bathroom with a soaking tub. Second Floor Residence: The second-floor apartment is a sun-filled three-bedroom, one-bathroom home that feels like a chic French-style escape. Two elegant French doors open onto a charming balcony overlooking the backyard. The renovated kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, built-in wall oven, walnut cabinetry, sleek glass tile backsplash, and warm oak flooring. A built-in electric fireplace anchors the living space, complemented by a generous dining area ideal for entertaining. Two well-proportioned bedrooms share a classic subway-tile bathroom, while a washer/dryer closet is discreetly tucked into the unit. The third bedroom, currently configured as an exercise room, offers flexibility as a home office, guest room, or additional bedroom. Third Floor Residence: The top-floor apartment is a beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bathroom home highlighted by a private full deck. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, a full dining area, and a built-in home office illuminated by a skylight. The expansive open kitchen showcases a striking blue high-gloss lacquered finish, equipt with a washer/dryer combo unit, pantry, dishwasher, and an additional oversized skylight that floods the space with natural light. Both bathrooms are finished in travertine stone-one with a deep soaking tub and the other with a sleek stand-up shower. The primary bedroom is generously sized, offering ample closet space and room for a king-sized bed. Additional Development & Use Potential: The property benefits from approximately 2,255 square feet of unused FAR, offering a rare opportunity to build an additional floor and rooftop deck, subject to approvals. This flexibility creates exceptional upside and allows the home to be tailored to a variety of ownership goals. 124 West 87th Street is ideally suited for: Investors seeking a high-income-producing rental property with future expansion potential, or high yeild condo conversion project Owner-occupants looking to enjoy a luxurious duplex while generating additional rental income from two rental apartments.
