Description

Welcome home to your grand, spacious Upper East mansion which was recently renovated and is located in a gorgeous classic pre-war building on a beautiful tree-lined street.

Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and large well-designed entertaining spaces. Beautifully maintained hardwood oak floors and molding and high-beamed ceilings complement the feel of this elegant home.

Only two apartments per floor!

A gracious entry hall, with a large built-in coat closet, leads into a very large south-facing living room which has a wood-burning fireplace. The large formal dining room is adjacent to the spacious L-shaped new eat-in Italian kitchen with its lacquered wood cabinets, ceasar-stone counters, new Subzero and Miele appliances, two sinks, two dishwashers, double oven (with warming drawer), Bosch washer/dryer and working desk. A service door, and its elevator, is off the kitchen.

An amazing amount of storage space is a bonus. Lots of bedroom walk-in closets, with built-ins and a walk-in linen closet. A large storage unit in the basement comes with the apartment. The large master bedroom has an ensuite marble bathroom (with jacuzzi) and two walk-in closets. Two guest bedrooms have a new dual-access marble bathroom, and one of those rooms presently serves as a library with floor to ceiling bookshelves.

45 East 85th Street is a prime, much sought-after cooperative built in 1925 by architects who won a reputation for the design of floor plans that make the most of the space. The building is full service, with helpful and courteous 24-hour doorman and concierge, resident superintendent, handyman, and porter. Pets are welcome. There is a newly installed gym, private outdoor patio, bike room, updated laundry room and bathroom. A convenient garage is right next door. 50% financing is permitted. Maintenance is $5,151.

Great location Park and Madison near Museum Mile, Central Park, houses of worship, transportation, schools and shopping.

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.
