Description

Greeted with a stripped steel entrance door on your private elevator landing, one instantly realizes this will be a unique home...traditional juxtaposed with contemporary. Peeking inside, the appeal of this renovated prewar residence is immediately evident...an elegant entrance foyer, high ceilings, decorative moldings, beautifully lustered herringbone floors, large bay windows, woodburning fireplace, gracious layout, and well-proportioned rooms. Throughout this renovated 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home with spacious living room, formal dining room, library, and solarium, there is a reverence to the original 1930 details and architecture. The renovation design modernized the space to be more 21st century friendly: a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom to include double sinks and large stall shower, the kitchen reconfigured for family gatherings, designated laundry area, and new casement windows. Originally 10 rooms, this light-filled home is an exceptional offering on the Upper East Side.

Commissioned by the Estate Office of Vincent Astor, Charles Platt designed 520 East 86th Street as the handsome "new and improved" sibling of 530 East 86th Street. The limestone base and brick facade, multi-paned windows, and gracious lobby, make one feel as if they are entering one of Platt's distinguished country houses. This full-service building, with fitness room, basketball court, private storage, 24 hour doorman, and superb resident manager, is close to Carl Schurz Park and the new Second Avenue subway. The building is pet friendly.

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.
