Description

NO BOARD APPROVAL--Condop with Condo rules located on the southeast corner of East 85th Street and Second Avenue. Stunning and sophisticated 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath with fabulous panoramic south, east and north views from the 29th floor. Entry foyer with coat closet leads into a very open floor plan with a large living room/dining room combination and an open chef's kitchen with all top-of-the-line appliances. The views east and south are really quite spectacular. There is a lovely large balcony off the dining room/kitchen that is large enough for a table and chairs for al fresco dining. The two bedrooms are split, each with it's own en-suite bathroom. There was a washer/dryer that was removed but the hookup is still in place. There is a common washer dryer in the hallway directly outside this apartment so the owner took advantage of this space for more closets and storage. There is also a guest powder room off the entry hall. That bathroom and the master bath have been totally renovated and are gorgeous. The master faces east and north also with breathtaking views and the master bath is windowed. The floors are light wood and beautiful and the lighting is modern and bright. Closets and storage spaces are abundant. The entire apartment is a dream. You don't want to miss seeing this one. The America has just completed it's Local Law 11 work and the scaffolding has been removed revealing a lovely grand terraced entrance. There is a 24 hour doorman, newly renovated health club with great equipment, an indoor swimming pool, sauna, party room and bike room, all at no additional expense to the residents. There is a washer and dryer on each floor. There is a small garage in the building that presently has a waiting list. The building is so centrally located, it is now convenient to almost everywhere in Manhattan. The new Q train comes at 86th and Second Avenue and Lexington Express 4,5 6 train is at Lexington and 86th. There is also a Fairway just steps away, a Whole Foods one block away and restaurants galore. The building is also convenient to both Central Park and Charles Shurz Park and dogs are welcome. You can move in or use the apartment as a pied-a-terre or rent it out. The building is investor friendly with an unlimited sublet policy or LLC purchase. Maintenance is approximately 64% deductible and you may finance up to 80%. This is one wonderful opportunity so come by this Sunday, April 8th from 1:00 to 3:00 for the first showing. I promise, you will be very happy you did.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
