this home
The main level is full of character, with soaring 12-foot beamed ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors throughout, and oversized south-facing windows that flood the space with unobstructed natural light. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room and adds to the apartments classic brownstone charm.
The separate kitchen features granite countertops, upgraded appliances, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage.
A spiral staircase leads upstairs to the private full-floor bedroom suite, which enjoys the same bright southern exposure along with a built-in bookshelf and great separation from the living space below. A spacious bathroom, wrapped in marble from floor to walls, brings a polished finish to the upper level.
139 West 85th Street is an intimate walk-up co-op with laundry in the basement. Located between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, the building is just a few blocks from Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and the 1, B and C trains, with great dining, shopping, and neighborhood conveniences all close by.
