Description

Welcome to this oversized and beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 305 West 86th Street, a classic prewar cooperative in the heart of the Upper West Side.

This residence blends timeless charm with modern upgrades. The gracious entry foyer and gallery lead to a sun-filled, well-proportioned living room large enough for oversized furnishings and a dining table for eight. The windowed kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops, custom cherry cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances.

The serene primary suite features a custom walk-in closet, built-in casework, and a spa-like limestone bath with a glass-enclosed shower and heated towel racks. The second bedroom, framed by French doors, boasts two exposures and abundant natural southern and eastern light, while the second renovated bath offers stylish finishes with glass and limestone tiling. Throughout the apartment, you’ll find prewar details including beamed ceilings, oak strip flooring, and picture moldings, complemented by rare THRU-THE-WALL AIR CONDITIONING in both bedrooms and the living room.

305 West 86th Street is an elegant, well-established co-op with a newly restored lobby, part-time doorman (8am–midnight), live-in superintendent, porter, bike room, and private storage. Pets are welcome, and WASHER/DRYERS ARE PERMITTED with board approval. The co-op allows guarantors and co-purchasing on a case-by-case basis, and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. High-speed internet is available through Verizon Fios and Spectrum.

Perfectly located between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, residents enjoy immediate access to Riverside Park, the West 87th Street dog run, and Central Park just a few blocks away. The neighborhood is rich with cultural destinations such as Lincoln Center, the Museum of Natural History, and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, as well as beloved food markets including Zabar’s, Citarella, Fairway, and West Side Market. Transportation is effortless with the 1/2/3 subway lines, the M86 crosstown bus, and quick access to the West Side Highway.

This move-in ready residence combines space, light, and location — a rare find on the Upper West Side.
