Prime two-bedroom/one-and-a-half-bathroom home with an extensive, high-quality renovation and three exposures in the beautiful pre-War co-operative, 130 West 86th Street, located in one of the Upper West Side's most beloved areas.
With 11 windows, 9-foot ceilings, and southern, western, and eastern exposures above the treetops, the home is flooded with sunlight throughout the day, while remaining pin-drop quiet facing away from 86th Street. With only three apartments on the floor, the home shares no walls with the other two units.
The gracious layout of the apartment enjoys a full-scale renovation, including the improvement of an added powder room. Completed in the last five years, the extensive renovation includes new electric and plumbing throughout, new 6" oak flooring, new moldings and baseboards, custom shades, custom and expanded closets, in addition to the new finishes specific to each of the rooms.
An entry foyer with coat closet separates the entertaining area of the home from the two bedrooms. The large living and dining room enjoys a corner southern and western exposure, featuring sconces and electric shades.
The perfectly-appointed, windowed chef's kitchen has abundant quartz counterspace and backsplash, with full-height custom cabinetry and a built-in microwave. Other features include a large Blanco sink, Jenn-Air gas range, full-width Jenn-Air refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the added powder room, which is windowed with hand-painted ceramic tile and a Toto commode.
The primary bedroom with a corner southern and eastern exposure is king-size, with additional room for armoire and work-from-home station. The original two closets have been connected and expanded, and the shades are electric. The second bedroom, with eastern exposure, is nearly as large and has a sizable closet.
The windowed full bathroom features Brizo fixtures, a Robern medicine cabinet, radiant heat flooring, and an oversized walk-in shower with a rainhead and built-in shampoo niche. Although the owners did not feel it necessary because the building's laundry room is so large and accessible, a washer/dryer can be added wet-over-wet with board approval.
Built in 1925 with a beautifully restored lobby, 130 West 86th Street is an intimate pre-War co-operative of only 46 residences, with a live-in superintendent and doormen on-site from the early morning until late at night (7am-11:30pm on weekdays and 8am-11:30pm on weekends). The two newly updated elevators lead to the downstairs laundry room, children's playroom, and bicycle storage.
Located on one of the most gallant residential avenues of the Upper West Side, the building is surrounded by all of the neighborhood's shopping, dining, and cultural institutions. It is well-positioned only a block and a half from Central Park and two and a half blocks from Riverside Park.
The 86th Street B/C subway station at Central Park West is only a block and a half away, and the 86th Street 1-train station at Broadway is only one block away. The M86-Select Crosstown Bus adds to the convenience of commuting.
The building is pet-friendly. 3% flip tax paid by buyer.
