Apartment 2A at 161 West 86th Street is a truly grand and gracious 10-room residence, perfectly positioned on a prime Upper West Side block just moments from both Central Park and Riverside Park. Spanning over 3,000 square feet, this expansive home offers extraordinary scale, with four to five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two original staff rooms-one of which has been reimagined as a spacious laundry room.

With its remarkable proportions and timeless elegance, this home invites endless possibilities for customization while showcasing the enduring beauty of prewar architecture. Classic details abound, including rich hardwood floors-herringbone in the living room and gallery-soaring 11-foot ceilings, intricate moldings, oversized picture windows, and an elegant decorative fireplace.

Designed for both intimate living and large-scale entertaining, the residence boasts a nearly 30-foot entrance gallery, a south-facing living room, and a formal dining room-each measuring an impressive 25 feet. The massive eat-in kitchen provides ample space for a full pantry, large dining area, and endless culinary creativity. Every bedroom is generously proportioned, offering privacy, flexibility, and the comfort of a true home. The primary suite, along with an additional bedroom, enjoys southern exposure with lovely treetop views. Original bathrooms and abundant closet space throughout offer the opportunity to create a highly personalized vision of luxury.

This exceptional offering represents a rare opportunity to own a residence of such grand scale and prewar character on the Upper West Side-blending timeless architectural beauty with the versatility to suit today's modern lifestyle, all within moments of the city's two most iconic parks.

161 West 86th Street is an elegant prewar cooperative built in 1914 and converted in 1980. The building offers doorman service from 7:00 am to 1:00 am, a live-in superintendent, and attentive staff. Amenities include assigned private storage, bicycle storage, and a beautifully landscaped roof garden with sweeping city views. Pets are welcome with board approval.
