$45K/Month UWS Townhouse Fuses Victorian Details with Modern Surprises

One of the Upper West Side’s widest landmarked brownstones is available to rent for $45,000 per month. The four-story, seven-bedroom townhouse at 37 West 87^th Street has been renovated by architect Alexandr Neratoff, who focused on highlighting the home’s Victorian details–like carved wood moldings and original fireplaces–while giving it modern updates — like a massive solarium and rooftop patio.

Enter this suburban-sized 4,000-square-foot home and head up a flight of stairs with original carved wood railings to the first floor. The front family room has curved bay windows and an original fireplace. Off the family room is a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, a breakfast nook, and custom cabinetry with pullouts and glass fronts. Towards the back is a grand salon with a wood-burning fireplace and an adjacent formal dining room.

On the second level, the master bedroom takes up the entire south side, boasting a wood-burning fireplace and built-in closets leading to a five-piece marble en suite with a large tub and a walk-in shower. On the north end, a second bedroom has a private 9-by-12-foot terrace and a full bath. Next door, there’s a generous home office. The third floor has four more bedrooms, one of which has a built-in desk and a lofted sleeping area. Two of the rooms are connected via a Jack and Jill bathroom and walk-in closet, and there’s a laundry room.

The penthouse level is where this home really shows off. There’s a 14.5-by-24-foot solarium with 12-foot vaulted ceilings, custom retractable shades, a closet, wet bar, dishwasher, full bath, and access to a 300-square-foot rooftop patio and a south-facing 18.5-by-12.6-foot balcony. Oh, and did we mention this place is just a few steps from Central Park?
