327 W 85Th St

A five-story, early 20th-century cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, built in 1920 and sited on a leafy, landmarked block next to Riverside Park. The boutique walk-up contains one-bedroom and studio residences arranged within a masonry brownstone/low-rise façade that preserves pre-war proportions and details. Interiors commonly showcase tall ceilings (9–11 feet), hardwood floors, exposed brick, bay windows, wood-burning fireplaces, and periodic recessed lighting and built-in storage. Kitchens and baths in many units have been modernized with stone counters, stainless appliances, and custom cabinetry while select homes include washer/dryers and windowed kitchens. Common areas are modest but well maintained: a renovated lobby and corridors reflect careful stewardship rather than full-service luxury. There is no onsite parking or expansive outdoor amenity program; building policies are cooperative-board controlled with case-by-case approvals for sublets, pied-à-terre, pets (dogs typically interviewed), guarantors and co-purchases. The building’s immediate surroundings offer strong transit access (1 train, crosstown bus), abundant restaurants, shops, and direct access to Riverside and Central Parks, supporting a residential, park-oriented urban lifestyle.
