Overview of The Clifton at 74 West 85th Street

The Clifton is a five story, 10 unit pre-war condominium at 74 West 85th Street, less than a block from Central Park. Completed in 1910, the walk up includes a top floor residence connected by stair to an 841 square foot private roof terrace with a glimpse of the park.

Ceilings commonly exceed nine feet, reaching ten feet in several homes, and recurring pre-war elements include exposed brick and decorative fireplaces. Several layouts pair windowed kitchens with combined living and dining rooms, while south facing rooms look toward trees and townhouse gardens.

The building has basement laundry, an intercom, and a pet friendly policy. Central Park is at the east end of the block, the American Museum of Natural History is several blocks south, and the B and C trains stop at 86th Street and Central Park West.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "charming" prewar walk-up on the Upper West Side offers "beautifully renovated" units featuring "soaring ceilings" and "contemporary kitchens" with stainless steel appliances. The "prime location" puts you steps from Central Park, Museum of Natural History and "excellent transportation options," while the no-board-approval policy makes for "hassle-free" ownership. Though the five-flight climb is "not for the faint of heart," residents appreciate the building's "well-maintained" character and "convenient" laundry room.
