Description

Residence 5S is a bright and spacious three bedroom plus home office located at 106 East 85 Street, a boutique pre-war full service cooperative building located on a quiet, tree-lined block just off Park Avenue. This “classic seven” boasts a sun-drenched living room with wood-burning fireplace, a spacious dining room,and well-appointed kitchen.

A semi-private landing is shared with just one other residence. Upon entry, a sizable gallery hallway leads to an inviting central foyer, complete with a spacious coat closet. At the end of this foyer, the sun-drenched south-facing living room showcases a wood-burning fireplace with historic mantle, custom built-in cabinetry, and an impressive 9.5’ x 5.5’ bay window. The living room sits adjacent to the massive formal dining room, and is also graced with its own 7.5’ x 5.5’ bay window.

The generously proportioned primary bedroom is also south-facing, offers ample space for a king-size bed, and boasts an oversized closet and an en suite windowed white-tiled bathroom with cast-iron tub. In its own separate wing off the gallery, there are two equally spacious second and third bedrooms. These bedrooms share a convenient windowed Jack and Jill bathroom with white subway tile, pedestal sink, and accessible from both rooms.

The windowed kitchen in the center of the home features a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and a vented Jenn Air range hood, granite countertops, Terra-cotta tile floors, and abundant cabinetry and counter space. An exposed brick wall adds character, while a service entrance and an adjacent windowed powder room/laundry room with a stacked Bosch Axxis washer and dryer provide added convenience. Just off the kitchen is a windowed staff room, den or home office.

Throughout this magnificent home you will find numerous original details including herringbone oak flooring in the entertaining rooms with border details throughout, over 9’4” beamed ceilings, and period door hardware, molding and baseboards. Heating is by cast iron radiators in each room, and cooling is by through-wall air conditioners.

With only two residences per floor this classic Upper East Side pet-friendly cooperative was built in 1916 and features mainly "classic seven" residences. The building is well maintained by a dedicated staff, including a resident manager, and part-time doorman from 7AM to 11PM on weekdays, Saturday from 3PM to midnight and Sunday from 3PM to 11PM. Residents also benefit from individual storage bins in the basement, a central laundry room, and recreation room. Ideally situated in a prime Upper East Side location, this historic building is in close proximity to renowned museums, exceptional shopping, Fairway and Whole Foods, and the lush tranquility of Central Park, with the added convenience of easy access to the 4, 5, 6, Q trains, and cross-town buses.

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.
