About this home
20-foot Townhouse Central Park Block, Live-with-Income or Ideal Future Single-family<br>SHOWINGS ON WEDNESDAYS 11-12:30 BY APPOINTMENT ONLY<br><br>24 West 85th Street is a distinguished, meticulously restored multi-family townhouse ideally positioned just off the park in the coveted Central Park West Historic District. Originally designed in the Neo-Grec style by Steinmetz & Carter in the late 19th century, the residence blends timeless pre-war craftsmanship with refined modern updates. Spanning approximately 8,290 square feet including the cellar, the property is currently configured as five residential units, offering flexibility for both live-with-income and single-family conversion for end-users. The townhouse will be delivered vacant apart from free-market tenants in the duplex which expires in October 2026.<br>Interiors are richly appointed with soaring ceilings, elegant crown moldings, warm hardwood floors, and stately fireplaces, creating refined, light-filled living spaces with enduring character. Owned and thoughtfully enhanced by a highly experienced New York City architect, the home reflects a careful balance of historic integrity and modern design. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined block just moments from Central Park and surrounded by cultural institutions, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a townhouse of exceptional scale, character, and potential.<br><br>Garden Floor<br>The garden level offers a warm and inviting private, one bedroom residence defined by rich materials, architectural character, and seamless connection to outdoor space. Entered beneath the stoop, the home unfolds into a generously scaled eat-in kitchen that serves as the heart of the residence, complete with honed granite countertops, large island and direct access to the landscaped garden with custom blue stone pavers. Arched ceiling details lend a distinct old-world ambiance, complemented by a mix of wide-plank rustic wood flooring and original barn beam plank floors. The layout is both flexible and functional, with multiple entrances, a connected living area, and spaces that easily accommodate a home office or guest suite, all anchored by a sense of privacy and charm.<br>Parlour Floor, Owner's Duplex<br>The parlor and third floors combine to form an elegant duplex that showcases the townhouse’s most impressive proportions and original detail. The parlor level is designed for entertaining, featuring a full-width dining room with beautifully preserved woodwork, a decorative mantel, and original pocket doors that open to a gracious front living room. Attached to the dining room is your new kitchen, complete with quartz countertops, multiple south-facing windows, and a washer and vented dryer discreetly hidden within custom cabinetry for added convenience. As you move to your formal living space, opposite the grand wrought iron staircase you have a powder room. Soaring 12-foot ceilings and oversized windows flood the living space with natural light.<br>Third Floor, Owner's Duplex<br>Upstairs, the private quarters are thoughtfully laid out with two generously proportioned, full-width bedrooms, creating a true separation from the entertaining levels below. The rear bedroom is a serene primary suite with a Venetian-plastered en-suite bath. An especially charming detail is the arched niche over the marble-encased soaking tub, set by the window, beautifully framed and filled with natural light. At the front of the house, there is a full bathroom off the landing, followed by the second full-width bedroom, highlighted by gorgeous bay windows. This room is currently set up as an ideal home office, complete with custom built-in shelving that keeps the space both functional and polished. Throughout, carefully integrated modern upgrades including central air and in-unit laundry, enhance everyday comfort while preserving the home’s historic character.<br>Fourth Floor<br>The fourth floor is thoughtfully divided into two well-appointed one-bedroom residences, each offering distinct appeal. The rear apartment has been renovated to emphasize light and indoor-outdoor living, opening onto a private terrace that serves as a true extension of the living space. The front apartment is equally charming, highlighted by large windows that draw in abundant natural light and classic pre-war details such as a decorative fireplace. This front unit is rent stabilized and delivered vacant.<br>Fifth Floor<br>Perched at the top of the townhouse, this bright and airy two-bedroom apartment offers a unique sense of openness and tranquility. Multiple skylights flood the space with natural light throughout the day, enhancing the loft-like feel of the main living area. The layout is both efficient and comfortable, featuring a pass-through kitchen with Pietra Cardoza stone countertops, two south-facing bedrooms, and ample storage. Built-in shutters and thoughtful detailing add character, while the elevated position provides a peaceful retreat from the city below....
