213 West 85th Street #1A

Sometimes you just walk into a building and know, even before you set foot into the home, that it is going to be something special. This is that moment! A meticulously renovated and maintained pre-war elevator building welcomes you home with its bright, marble entry, high ceilings and elegant details. Off the main hall, which is only one short flight up the exterior townhouse steps, is a studio duplex/Jr. 1BR that will exceed your expectations. Immediately, your eye is drawn to a stunning wall of historic exposed brick with a decorative fireplace, while the approx 10 foot ceilings make everything feel open and airy. The over-sized, south-facing windows allow for a lot of sunlight, while overlooking treetops and the quaint brownstones of West 85th Street. The windowed kitchen is spacious and fit for a chef with full-size stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, microwave and custom cabinetry. The windowed bathroom is beautifully renovated with limestone tile, good storage space and a spa-like shower with glass door. Up a REAL flight of stairs (no spirals here!) is a windowed sleeping loft, with space for a queen size mattress and more.
