Overview of 149 West 85th Street
149 West 85th Street is a pre-war brownstone co-op on the Upper West Side, built in 1915 and converted in 1979. The five story, eight unit walk up occupies a quiet, tree lined block between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, with the building's small scale and townhouse form reflected in its duplex and penthouse layouts.
Apartments commonly retain period details such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, moldings, built ins, skylights, and wood burning fireplaces. Duplexes recur in the building, including layouts that place living areas on one level and bedrooms above; several residences also have private terraces or balconies, with outdoor spaces oriented north, south, or toward landscaped gardens. One parlor floor duplex is organized around unusually tall ceilings and a loft area above the main living space.
The self managed co-op has basement laundry and bike storage, and pets are permitted. Recent capital work includes a roof replacement in 2023, an upgraded apartment terrace, and updates to the basement and pump systems following storm improvements in 2022. Central Park is roughly one to two blocks north, Riverside Park is also close by, and the surrounding Columbus Avenue corridor has restaurants, shops, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Zabar's, and the American Museum of Natural History within the immediate neighborhood.

Sales History
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.
