Description
Sun-Filled, South-Facing Two-Bedroom with Powder Room Near Carl Schurz Park Ideally positioned just steps from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, this sun-drenched, south-facing two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath home offers an elegant blend of spacious proportions, natural light, and thoughtful upgrades—all within a full-service Upper East Side cooperative. The generous entry foyer opens to a sprawling great room framed by a wall of newly installed windows, offering quiet treetop views over a peaceful two-way street. With room to create distinct living, dining, and home office zones, the layout is ideal for both entertaining and everyday life. New Roman shades add a refined touch to the living room’s clean, open lines. The renovated kitchen is designed for the home chef, featuring white cabinetry, quartz-style countertops, a mirrored backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and an abundance of pantry storage. Premium appliances include a Verona gas cooktop and stove, along with full-sized stainless-steel finishes. The oversized primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and seating area and includes two generous closets. A well-appointed full bath sits just outside. The second bedroom functions perfectly as a guest room or home office. A separate powder room with integrated storage adds everyday convenience and is a rare perk at this price point. Storage is exceptional throughout the home, including a walk-in entry closet with custom shelving, a linen closet, and deep bedroom closets. Walnut-stained hardwood floors, updated lighting, and through-wall A/C complete this turnkey residence. Building Features: 525 East 85th Street is a full-service, pet-friendly cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and a responsive staff with a strong reputation for service. Amenities include a landscaped courtyard, a fitness center (modest annual fee), updated laundry facilities (currently undergoing upgrades), private storage and bike room, and a garage. Pets are welcome. Location Highlights: Enjoy life just steps from the East River, Carl Schurz Park, and Gracie Mansion, with easy access to the Q train, crosstown and downtown buses, and all the best of the Upper East Side. Moments from Whole Foods, Fairway, Museum Mile, boutique bakeries, and beloved neighborhood cafes. Co-op Policies: 60% financing permitted, up to 2 pets allowed and one garage space per unit. Welcome home to quiet sophistication on one of Yorkville’s most desirable residential blocks.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
