Description

OPEN HOUSES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! A spacious and luxurious one-bedroom home (convertible two-bedroom) with spectacular river and city views perched on a high floor in a full-service cooperative steps from bucolic Carl Shurz Park on the Upper East Side. A generously proportioned foyer welcomes you upon entry, which can easily serve as a dining area or home office, and is equipped with two closets. One of these closets is a walk-in fitted by California Closets and is so spacious that it is nearly another room in itself. Natural light floods the expansive living room through a wall of windows framing spectacular expansive panoramas. An adjacent corner dining nook offers double exposure and abundant storage through elegant built-ins. If desired, this space seamlessly transforms into a second bedroom. Culinary aficionados will appreciate the windowed chef's kitchen, adorned with warm wooden cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, premium Caesar stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The space is completed with a pantry, deep storage drawers, and a lovely countertop to sit at while enjoying morning coffee. The corner bedroom, impressively vast, hosts four windows over two exposures, three closets, and ample room to house king-sized furnishings. The adjacent windowed bathroom adds convenience to luxury. Finishing touches include striking crown moldings, beautiful hardwood floors, and new light fixtures throughout the residence. 525 East 86th Street is a pet-friendly full-service building located along the charming townhouses of Henderson Place Historic District and East End Avenue featuring a full-time doorman, fitness center, storage, bike room, garage, and resident superintendent. With access to a multitude of incredible restaurants, shopping, Carl Shurz Park, and the Q train, it is the perfect place to call home. 70% financing permitted (30% down required).

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
