Description

Indulge in turnkey Upper East Side luxury in this beautifully updated, expansive three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom co-op featuring stunning designer interiors and an exceptional location just inches from Central Park and the Met. A gracious foyer welcomes you inside this serene uptown oasis where soaring beamed ceilings rise above refinished herringbone hardwood floors, regal millwork, freshly painted art walls and oversized windows trimmed with custom blinds. A powder room and smart storage cupboards integrated into wide door casings add convenience to the entryway. Ahead, you're invited to relax and unwind in the elegant living room, where the stately wood-burning fireplace is flanked by window seats and a glimpse of Central Park and the museum. Plan your next dinner party in a breathtaking dining area wrapped in a hand-painted pastoral wall mural spanning six walls. A hidden door here opens to more artfully concealed storage. The windowed kitchen boasts updated floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, granite counters and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, bottom-freezer refrigerator, dishwasher and built-in microwave. The desirable semi-split layout begins with a tranquil primary suite featuring a sprawling king-size layout, generous closet space and a southern exposure. The renovated en suite bathroom impresses with a frameless glass shower, roomy vanity and handsome fixtures surrounded by floor-to-ceiling marble tile. In a separate wing, two spacious and bright secondary bedrooms feature large closets, built-ins and access to a shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a large tub/shower. A basement storage unit completes this exquisite Upper East Side sanctuary. 3 East 85th Street is a lovely limestone Italian Renaissance building known as one of the first creations of notable architect J.E.R. Carpenter. The pet-friendly cooperative offers live-in resident manager service, laundry and storage. Pieds-à-terre, guarantors and 75% financing are permitted. From this revered Metropolitan Museum Historic District location between Fifth and Madison avenues, you're surrounded by coveted Upper East Side amenities. Wonderful boutiques and cafés line nearby 86th Street and Madison. Central Park and the Reservoir unfold less than 200 feet from your front door, and revered Museum Mile institutions, including the Met and Guggenheim, showcase breathtaking works of art mere minutes away. Transportation is effortless, with 4/5/6 and Q trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes all within reach.

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.
