14 West 87th Street, Unit 5

August 5, 2026 by Georges Benoliel

Unit 5 at 14 West 87th Street has just completed a full 2025 interior redesign that amplifies its classic loft character. The dramatic double-height living room still boasts 14-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and oversized bay windows, now framed by new double-paned glass and flanked by custom built-in shelving that maximizes storage without sacrificing airiness.

This Upper West Side pre-war residence has been thoughtfully reimagined to maximize every inch while preserving its original charm. A bespoke kitchen centers the home, featuring a striking Silver Roots marble island and custom built-ins that flow into a clever, storage-rich dining nook. Rich wood tones and plush textiles create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while a curated, globally inspired art collection adds a deeply personal narrative. Awash in natural light, the apartment now balances historical elegance with modern comfortdelivering a living experience that feels both timeless and distinctly contemporary.

Upstairs, the mezzanine bedroom gains both privacy and natural light from added glass-paneled windows and a new door, while the en-suite bath has been tastefully updated with contemporary fixtures and crisp tile work. Throughout the home youll find abundant closets, integrated bookcases, through-wall A/C, and board-approved vented washer/dryer (shared laundry is also available in the building). Set within a well-maintained seven-unit townhouse co-op half a block from Central Park, the residence offers immediate access to the C/B and 1 subway lines, the 86th Street Transverse, and an ever-growing collection of Upper West Side museums, gyms, cafs, bars, and restaurantspairing classic townhouse charm with modern convenience.
