123 West 86th Street is a five story, eight unit pre war co op in a brownstone townhome on the Upper West Side. Built in 1900, the walk up retains the proportions and details of its original townhouse form, while apartments range from studios to one bedrooms. Several homes have loft like ceilings and skylights, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms, along with hardwood floors and exposed brick.
The building's most distinctive residential arrangement is a studio with a separate sleeping loft beneath a 6 foot 11 inch ceiling, with storage below. Other apartments reflect the narrow townhouse layout through high ceilings, French doors, open views over brownstone gardens, and, in one case, a private rear patio. Original elements such as stained glass windows and fireplaces appear alongside renovated kitchens and bathrooms.
Resident features include a live in superintendent, rooftop access, basement storage for owners, and a pet friendly policy. The building sits between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, one avenue from Central Park and within several blocks of Riverside Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and the restaurants and shops along Columbus Avenue.
The 86th Street station at Broadway serves the 1 and 2 trains, while the 81st Street station at Central Park West serves the B and C trains. The building's small scale, townhouse character, and Upper West Side location place it among the neighborhood's older residential properties rather than its larger elevator apartment buildings.

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.
