225 W 86th Street 608

A rare opportunity at the iconic Belnord. Residence 608 comes with architectural plans for a sprawling 3-bedroom, 3-bath home, already approved by both the Board and the DOB.

At the heart of the plan is an enormous eat-in kitchen designed as a true gathering space for cooking, dining, media, and lounging. It flows beautifully into the oversized double living room, creating the kind of scale and connectivity that is so rare in New York City living. With approvals in place, a future owner is spared much of the time, expense, and uncertainty typically involved in creating a home of this caliber.

The footprint offers even greater flexibility. A separate conceptual mock-up shows how the apartment could be reimagined as a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home.

Today, the apartment is configured as an expansive 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence with 2 fireplaces, a home office, eat-in kitchen, and formal dining room. Tremendous scale, beautiful sunlight, high ceilings, and classic prewar character make it a spectacular canvas for any vision.

The Belnord is one of the Upper West Side’s most coveted addresses, pairing landmark prewar architecture with more than 30,000 square feet of exceptional indoor and outdoor amenities. Residents enter through its gated porte cochère into the landscaped courtyard and enjoy 24-hour attended lobbies, a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga and Pilates studios, a double-height sports court, residents’ lounge, private dining room with chef’s kitchen, and dedicated children’s and teen spaces.

Residence 608 is the chance to create a magnificent home in one of New York’s most extraordinary buildings, with the hardest work already behind you.
