Set on the top of a rare boutique prewar condo, in the heart of the Upper West Side, is this sunny penthouse duplex and one-of-a-kind gardener's paradise. This ultimate urban retreat features soaring ten-foot ceilings, historical architectural details, richly stained hardwood floors, and an incredible multi-level furnished and landscaped terrace, currently planted to yield over eighty pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables a season. For the complete farm-to-table dining experience, the property can also include a custom chicken coop with two handsome hens that each lay an egg every day of the year. The home's open-plan great room is a seamless living/dining/kitchen experience. A gracious seating area opens to a raised dining alcove with overhead greenhouse-style windows. The renovated island kitchen has sleek stainless steel appliances, black stone countertops, and an artful glass mosaic backsplash, all highlighted by a massive skylight. A washer/dryer unit is hidden behind glass doors. Located on the floor below, is the charming master bedroom suite with the authentic wood-beamed ceilings and exposed brick walls. Recessed within the rich brick walls are two unique round pivot windows. Also on this floor, the newly renovated white-on-white, marble and porcelain bathroom includes both a stand-in, glass-door shower, and a separate deep soaking tub. With only six exclusive units, 259 West 85th Street has a European feel, resembling a small Parisian hotel. The building amenities include additional storage, a bike room, and laundry room. Pets are welcome on a case-by-case basis. The building is conveniently located around the corner from the 1 train, and Riverside Park is less than two blocks away. This apartment has been featured on Apartment Therapy and is currently featured in the New York Daily News as well as Curbed. Best of all, low monthlies!
