519 E 86TH Street #6D

OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED- a renovated three bedroom two bath plus office located at 519 East 86th Street, an intimate and beautifully maintained Georgian brick cooperative that feels like its own quiet enclave within the Upper East Side. With just 34 residences, a welcoming doorman, a live-in superintendent, and a meticulously restored lobby, this storybook building offers the kind of community-oriented living environment families truly value-just moments from Carl Schurz Park, stellar public and private schools, and excellent transportation including the Q train, crosstown buses, and the ferry.
Perfectly positioned on the sixth floor, this sun-filled, fully renovated three-bedroom, two-bath home benefits from charming prewar sight lines and Upper East Side vistas. The residence has been completely rebuilt to modern standards, including new LG heat/AC units, new doors and floors, expertly designed closets, and custom millwork. Architectural details like an exposed brick accent wall, bespoke bookshelves, and refined hardware create a polished yet warm environment ideal for family living. The renovation was started at the studs and finished with care, warmth and impeccable taste.
A gracious foyer opens to an expansive living and dining room, bathed in natural light with sweeping, iconic neighborhood views-an uplifting backdrop for daily routines, playtime, and evening downtime. An integrated surround sound system elevates movie nights and entertainment.
Just beyond the exposed brick feature wall, an open-concept home office offers custom-built desks and shelving-perfect for remote work, children's study, creative pursuits, or a quiet reading nook. It's a rare, highly functional bonus that makes the home feel both current and deeply comfortable. The beautifully renovated, windowed kitchen features a 4-burner Thermador vented convection range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, new stainless-steel dishwasher, expanded counter space, and custom cabinetry- "Yes Chef!" This kitchen is designed for the rhythm of real family life, from quick breakfasts before school to relaxed weekend dinners and entertaining friends.
The tranquil primary suite includes shuttered windows framing leafy, iconic UES views, a dedicated dressing alcove, and a windowed bath with a soaking tub/shower and Toto fixtures.
Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests, or a secondary office. The secondary bedroom suite connects to the third via a beautifully tiled windowed bath featuring whimsical mermaid colors-adding charm without overwhelming the sophisticated aesthetic.
Set along charming, tree-lined East 86th Street, this home sits in one of the most desirable pockets of the Upper East Side-an area long admired for its quiet beauty, iconic architecture, and unparalleled convenience. Just seconds from Carl Schurz Park's playgrounds and riverfront promenade, surrounded by top-tier schools, and close to neighborhood cafés, markets, and boutique shopping, this address delivers the lifestyle families dream of: peaceful, connected, and unmistakably Upper East Side.
With its prewar soul, modern upgrades, rare three-bedroom layout, chef's kitchen, and distinctive exposed-brick home office, this residence stands as a truly exceptional offering in one of New York City's most timeless and desirable neighborhoods. Transportation is effortless, with the Q train, 4/5/6 trains, crosstown buses, and a bus route delivering you directly to Carnegie Hall-all moments away.
