Description

Artfully renovated in the best of taste, this stunning condominium of over 2200 sq ft is located at 30 East 85th Street, on the corner of Madison Avenue. The formal entry hall, which has a coat closet and a powder room, flows seamlessly into the gracious dining room, large living room, and den (or 4th bedroom).

Custom maple flooring, solid core doors and moldings are used throughout, and bright eastern light shines through oversized windows to enjoy lovely views up and down Madison Avenue, as does the the corner balcony off the living room. The beautifully done kitchen has a large window, top of the line stainless steel Miele appliances, a garbage disposal, Corinthian marble flooring, and Corian countertops and backsplashes.

The corner Master suite, private and separate from the rest of the apartment, has a tall built-in with dresser and cabinets, two double-sized closets, and a large walk-in closet, all with custom shelving. There are two bathrooms facing Central Park, each finished in limestone: one with a 6' Jacuzzi tub/shower, and one with a shower. The two additional bedrooms have lovely ensuite bathrooms finished in marble, each with 6' soaking tubs and shower fittings. One bedroom has two closets - one is a large walk-in with custom shelving. The other bedroom has a large walk-in closet with custom shelving and a built-in dresser.

All bedrooms have Citiquiet windows making them pin drop quiet. There is a Miele washer and dryer that vents to the outside, through-wall HVAC throughout, in-wall surround sound speakers in the living room, dining room, and den, beautiful plaster walls and ceilings, and high end fixtures and fittings throughout highlight the attention to detail used. Wonderful light comes into this apartment all day, as it has large windows facing all four directions. This property has to be seen to be properly appreciated.

30 East 85th Street is a very well run luxury condominium offering the highest level of security, privacy, and service, in one of the most sought after locations on the Upper East Side. There is a full time doorman, concierge, porter, and live in super. Refrigeration is available for grocery deliveries, a brand new Equinox gym is opening soon in the building, pets are permitted, and 30 East 85th Street is in the PS 6 school district. It is just a few steps from Central Park and fine museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim.

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.
