Overview of 119 West 85th Street

119 West 85th Street is an 1895 Victorian era brownstone converted to a self managed cooperative in 1974. Designed by architect John G. Prague, the building retains its original woodwork, oak details, and other pre war elements while having a newer boiler and intercom system. Its location between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues puts Central Park about two blocks north, with the American Museum of Natural History and Riverside Park also close by.

The apartments are organized around the spatial character of a townhouse rather than a conventional apartment building. Lofted sleeping areas recur in studio and one bedroom layouts, while high ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, exposed brick, hardwood floors, and varied north and south exposures appear across the homes. Several apartments also have basement storage, and in unit or hookup ready laundry is part of the building’s residential mix, subject to board approval where applicable.

Outdoor space is another recurring feature, ranging from a landscaped garden reached through a solarium to a large garden terrace. Some homes have private entrances beneath the stoop, while upper floor apartments use dormer windows and skylights to bring light into vaulted or unusually tall spaces. Together, these layouts preserve the vertical, room by room character of the original brownstone while accommodating open kitchens, home office areas, and contemporary bathrooms.

The cooperative has a small shareholder community and low monthly carrying costs, with building management handled internally. Its Upper West Side setting combines the block’s historic brownstone architecture with nearby restaurants, cafes, shops, cultural institutions, and access to the 1, B, and C subway lines in the surrounding area.

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
