117 West 85th Street is an historic three-family brownstone designed and constructed in 1891 by the architect John G. Prague in the Queen Anne and Renaissance Revival styles. The current configuration is a spacious owner's triplex with two one-bedroom floor-throughs above, spread across approximately 5,520 square feet of total interior space on five floors. This home provides the unique opportunity for comfortable family living in the owner's triplex, while covering expenses with income from the floor-through rentals above. The bright and airy triplex, which occupies the garden, parlor and third floors of the building, features four bedrooms, a home office, two private outdoors spaces including the tranquil garden, stunning original details which have been beautifully maintained and restored throughout the years, soaring ceilings, and a wine room and cedar closets in the cellar. Alternatively, the house provides the opportunity to convert to a single family home today or in the future as the owner needs more space. The one-bedroom apartments, which are each currently rented for $4,000/month, consist of large bedrooms and living rooms, abundant natural light, and great ceiling heights. The fourth floor unit has a private terrace, while the fifth floor apartment has updated finishes and a washer/dryer in-unit. Leases expire 8/31/23.
