About This Home

A true Upper West Side sanctuary, this penthouse duplex at 149 West 85th Street offers a rare blend of charm, light, and serenity. Perched atop a quiet, tree-lined block, this sun-filled 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence features both north and south exposures, seamlessly combining pre-war character with modern luxury. Exceptionally peaceful, the home is bathed in natural light throughout the day. Two wood-burning fireplaces—one in the living room and one in the dining area—create the perfect setting for both elegant entertaining and intimate evenings at home. Thoughtful details are evident throughout, from custom millwork to the skylit gourmet kitchen, outfitted with Bosch, Thermador, and Liebherr appliances. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering an en-suite bath, full southern exposure, and access to a private terrace—ideal for morning coffee with open city views. The second bedroom provides versatility as a guest room, home office, or library. Additional highlights include abundant storage, in-unit washer/dryer, and timeless pre-war details throughout. Located just moments from Central Park and Riverside Park, and surrounded by the best of Upper West Side dining and shopping, this well-run, pet-friendly co-op offers low maintenance. Notably, the building has undergone significant upgrades, including a new roof (2023) and updated basement and pump systems following 2022.
