Intimate five-unit brownstone co-op featuring triplex layouts with private gardens, exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, and soaring 10-13 foot ceilings. Prime Upper West Side location between Central Park and Riverside Park, near museums and multiple subway lines. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
139 West 85th Street is a five story, five unit co op in a 1900 Upper West Side brownstone that was converted in 1971. The building's distinctive character comes from its townhouse scale and varied vertical layouts, including several triplex apartments with private entrances, cellar levels, and access to gardens or other private outdoor space.
Across the apartments, original brownstone details include exposed brick, beams, restored woodwork, hardwood floors, oversized windows, working wood burning fireplaces, and ceilings reaching 10 to 13 feet. The layouts range from floor through apartments to multi level homes, with garden and parlor floors creating a stronger connection to the building's rear gardens than is typical of a conventional co op.
The cooperative is self managed and has shared laundry facilities, basement storage, and bike storage. Apartments commonly combine these prewar elements with renovated kitchens and baths, abundant closets, and flexible rooms that can function as bedrooms, offices, dens, or studios.
The building is on a tree lined block on the Upper West Side, between Central Park and Riverside Park. The Museum of Natural History, restaurants, groceries, and the Broadway Corridor are close by, while the 1, B, and C subway lines serve the surrounding neighborhood.

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.
