151 W 86Th St

A classic prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side, this 12-story masonry building dates to 1913–1914 and was constructed by Rouse and Goldstone. The property contains large multi-bedroom apartments—typically four- and five-bedroom layouts and expansive seven- and eight-room residences—configured with gracious entrance foyers, separate formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens with butler’s pantries, and flexible staff-room spaces that often convert to bedrooms or offices. Interiors retain hallmark prewar details including high (around 10') ceilings, cove and plaster moldings, herringbone and strip hardwood floors, oversized windows, decorative fireplaces, and built-in bookcases and storage; many units have been thoughtfully renovated to add modern systems such as multi-zone central air, updated kitchens with high-end appliances, in-unit vented laundry, and recessed lighting. Shared building amenities are oriented toward everyday convenience and neighborhood living: a part-time doorman, live-in superintendent and handyman, assigned basement storage bins, a central laundry room, bike room, and a planted roof deck with open city views. The coop permits most pets (typically up to two per apartment), allows guarantors and co-purchasing, and offers up to 65% financing; pieds-à-terre are generally not permitted. Located on West 86th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, the building sits steps from Central Park, public transit, schools, shops, and cultural institutions, offering a blend of historic character and practical, family-friendly layouts.
