Overview of 259 West 85th Street

259 West 85th Street is a pre-war condominium building located in the Upper West Side's Riverside Dr./West End Ave. neighborhood, completed in 1920. This five-story walk-up building features six unique units, each designed to offer a blend of classic charm and modern amenities. The building has undergone renovations, including the installation of a video intercom system, enhancing security and convenience for residents.

The apartments in this boutique condominium are characterized by their spacious layouts and pre-war details. Notable features include high ceilings, hardwood floors, and exposed brick walls. Many units, particularly the penthouses, boast private outdoor spaces, such as multi-level terraces and gardens, ideal for entertaining or enjoying the outdoors. The penthouse units offer over 1,500 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor living, with luxurious finishes in kitchens and bathrooms.

Building amenities include basement storage lockers for each unit and a bike storage area. The intimate community atmosphere is complemented by the building's European-inspired design, which includes elegant entryways and well-maintained common areas. The location is convenient to public transportation, shopping, and Riverside Park, making it an attractive option for those seeking a vibrant urban lifestyle.

While the building has a no smoking policy, it does allow pets on a case-by-case basis. The low monthly charges and the option for pied-à-terre arrangements further enhance its appeal to potential buyers and renters.
