UPPER WEST SIDE

We here at Dream Homes love the phrase “rarely available” – it implies that a place is so fabulous, nobody wants to leave it. And in the case of this prewar co-op in a full-service building on West 86th Street, you’ll definitely want to stay awhile. With 10 “grand and amply proportioned” rooms (including four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus two maids’ rooms that can be combined for a fifth bedroom) and more than 3,100 square feet of living space, the apartment is big enough for both “gracious” entertaining and “elegant” family living.
