The home’s most...One-of-a-Kind 4BR with Renovated Private Roof Deck | Upper West Side
Apt 5 offers a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind four-bedroom home with a spectacular private rooftop in the heart of the Upper West Side.
Located at 206 West 85th Street, this distinctive four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence sits four flights up in a charming pre-war co-op and enjoys exposures in all four directions—north, south, east, and west—filling the home with abundant natural light throughout the day.
The home’s most remarkable feature is the fully renovated private rooftop deck, offering a true outdoor retreat above the city. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the space includes multiple seating and dining areas, lighting, storage, and an automatic watering system for easy gardening.
Inside, classic pre-war character blends seamlessly with modern updates. An entry gallery opens into a spacious living and dining area with high ceilings and timeless architectural details. The flexible four-bedroom layout offers a variety of possibilities for living, working, or creative use.
The expansive eat-in kitchen features Caesarstone countertops, custom wood cabinetry, a stone backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances, including a brand-new refrigerator and dishwasher, along with a vented range hood. Your own full size washer/dryer located in the kitchen closet vents to the outside.
Positioned on the opposite end of the home, the exquisite primary suite offers a quiet and spacious retreat with oversized windows with treetop views, exposed wood beams, and custom storage.
One of the bathrooms has been recently renovated by the current owners who spared no expense - with raised ceiling heights, white mosaic tile, Emperador dark marble floors, a custom Caesarstone vanity, a new Toto toilet, and temperature-controlled LED lighting. Additional thoughtful upgrades include new interior doors and frames, updated lighting fixtures, professionally installed AC units with premium allergen filters, and new window treatments.
Other highlights include a jacuzzi tub, steam shower, full-size washer and dryer with external venting, and generous storage throughout the entire apartment.
The co-op spans seven connected brownstone buildings (202–214 West 85th Street) and includes 53 residences. Amenities include a video intercom system, pet-friendly policies, and financing permitted up to 80%. Pied-a-terres and co-purchases are all considered on a case by case basis. Bike storage and private lockers are available for rent (current wait-list).
Ideally located between Central Park and Riverside Park, the home is also just one block from the New York City Subway 1, with convenient access to fantastic neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shopping, and cultural destinations.
