Description

Spacious and beautifully renovated, the one bedroom Upper East Side home you have been waiting for is now on the market. On the 9th floor of a full-service building located along the charming townhouses of Henderson Place Historic District, this light-filled home with open views including the river is a must-see. Enter this home and you will immediately notice the unique layout. Far from a ?cookie-cutter? one bedroom, this space has grand proportions. The large entry foyer, which makes for a great dining alcove, leads to the corner living room with double exposures overlooking peaceful gardens, townhouses, and open city views. The double exposure creates a second bedroom possibility (see Alternate Floor Plan). The open kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances including a Liebherr fridge, Bosch dishwasher, and Samsung oven, range, and microwave. The chef?s kitchen has a white quartz with grey veining counter topped island, custom white cabinetry, a large double-door pantry, wine rack, and plenty of storage. The breakfast bar is perfect for entertaining or casual dining. A hallway with two walk-in closets leads to the oversized bedroom. The hallway creates a feeling of separation of space and privacy. The bedroom has a wall of closets and ample space for a full set of furniture and even a separate office area. The renovated bathroom includes beautiful tile work and glass-enclosed shower with white subway tiles. The home is pin-drop quiet without street exposure. Other perks include hardwood floors, updated wiring, and a through-wall air unit with custom built-in cabinetry in the living room. Located along Henderson Place and East End Avenue, on a quiet part of 86th Street void of commercial enterprise, 525 E 86th Street is a well-established, full-service, post-war cooperative just half a block from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade. The building has a warm, friendly staff that includes 24-hour doormen and a live-in resident manager. There is a lobby-level windowed gym, central laundry room, storage, bike room, and on-site parking garage. Call apartment 9B home and enjoy the natural beauty and greenery of Carl Schurz Park, a true NYC hidden gem, as your very own backyard. An oasis in the UES, the 15-acre park includes dog runs, Gracie Mansion, children?s playground, lovely walks, and the perfect place for riding a bike or enjoying a day outside. Convenient transportation options include the new Second Avenue Q train just minutes away on 86th Street, the 4 5 6 trains just a few blocks further, numerous bus lines including the crosstown to the West side, and the NYC Ferry service from E 90th St. From the Mansion restaurant on the corner, a favorite local spot, to some of the city?s top restaurants, enjoy easy access to all that the UES and the city have to offer. Pets and pied-a-terres are permitted. Building allows 60% financing.

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.
