117 W 85th St, New York, NY 10024

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 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, and two private outdoor spaces, including the tranquil garden. The soaring ceilings are enhanced by stunning original details, provided by the builder and by the 1904 purchaser/owner/prominent architect, Robert Allen Jacobs, whose family resided here for over 30 years. The interior has been beautifully maintained and restored throughout. The current owners added 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 market rent one-bedroom apartments are each currently rented for $4,900/month and $4,600/month, and 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. This townhome is c
