Residence 7C offers a grand scale "classic seven" three or four bedroom layout, and is located at 35 East 85th Street, a red brick post-war full-service cooperative building on a serene, tree-lined block between Park and Madison Avenues.

A gracious and inviting foyer with detailed crown molding and wainscoting is at the center of this home, and has a deep, spacious coat closet. The foyer leads directly to the sun-drenched southern-facing living room which features a large corner picture window that captures views of the majestic columns of Regis High School and the gorgeous steeple and slate roof of the Park Avenue Church. Double pocket doors off the living room lead to what is currently the southern facing den/library. This sizable room offers versatility as a secondary bedroom, with two deep closets providing ample storage space.

A hallway off the central foyer leads to the private bedroom wing. The colossal corner primary bedroom boasts bright southern and western exposures, offering views overlooking Madison Avenue and 85th Street, with Central Park as the backdrop. This nearly 12’ x 20’ bedroom features three massive, fully built-out closets (including two walk in closets), and an ensuite windowed bathroom. The voluminous west facing second bedroom looks out over Madison Avenue and boasts built-in cabinetry including a desk and bookshelves, a walk-in closet, and its own private ensuite bathroom. Also off the bedroom hallway is a door to the library/den/third bedroom, an additional third bathroom, and a massive walk-in storage/linen closet.

At the other end of this commodious home lies a massive south facing dining room that could easily function as a den or fourth bedroom. Adjacent to the dining room is the vast open kitchen, previously expanded to include the former maid's room and now boasting a spacious eat-in area with ample cabinetry and a built-in desk. Two south-facing windows infuse the kitchen with light. A service entrance, coupled with an extraordinary suburban sized pantry/laundry room featuring a washer and vented dryer complete this wing of this remarkable, rambling home. Throughout, abundant closet space seamlessly integrates with numerous original details, including oak parquet flooring and exquisite crown moldings. Heating and cooling are efficiently managed by PTAC units in every room.

Located at the corner of 85th and Madison Avenue, 35 East 85th Street sits adjacent to Robert A.M. Stern’s celebrated new Bellemont Condominium, and is noted for its exceptional services and prime positioning on the Upper East Side. The exquisite mid-century building was erected in 1955 and houses 154 residences across 16 stories. The interconnected south and north towers boast a picturesque indoor walkway passing through a landscaped courtyard. Residents enjoy an array of amenities, including a delightful 14th floor resident’s terrace with breathtaking vistas, bicycle storage, a central laundry room, and a parking garage with direct access to the building, all complemented by the convenience of full time lobby attendant, separate doorman, resident manager, handyman, and porter.

Central Park is just one short block away, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cooper Hewitt Museum, and Guggenheim are all nearby. World-class restaurants and Madison Avenue boutiques are at your doorstep, and local grocery stores include Butterfield Market, Whole Foods and Fairway.
