225 W 86Th St

A landmarked Italian Renaissance residential building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, completed in 1909 and rising 14 stories. The property was sensitively reimagined with residences ranging from three- to six-bedroom layouts that preserve pre-war proportions—high ceilings, restored oversized mahogany windows, crown molding, formal entry foyers, and generous galleries—alongside contemporary systems and finishes. Interiors commonly include separate formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, extensive built-ins, walk-in closets, soaking tubs, and integrated HVAC and technology infrastructure. The restoration and re-envisioning introduced large communal spaces: a two-story club with a fitness center, double-height sports court, club lounge with fireplace, dedicated dining room, children’s playroom and teen room, plus an expansive porte-cochere and a 24-hour attended lobby. Outdoor offerings center on an extraordinary 22,000-square-foot interior courtyard and garden, supplemented by smaller private outdoor terraces and landscaped courtyards. On-site conveniences and services support family living and entertaining; pet policies and parking are handled within the building’s managed program. Located in a residential neighborhood known for cultural institutions, leafy avenues and convenient transit, the building emphasizes privacy, scale, and a blend of historic character with modern luxury.
