JUST REDUCED!! This sunny and spacious 10 room apartment in a distinguished prewar building near Carl Schurz Park. 530 East 86th Street, designed by Charles Platt in 1928, and built by Vincent Astor, is one of the finest buildings in the area. From the private elevator landing step into a welcoming foyer, opening on to a beautiful living room, with wood burning fireplace, and large windows looking on to the wide tree-lined street. Adjacent is the gracious dining room, also looking on the street. Both rooms face northeast and are sunfilled most of the day. A charming library opens off of the living room, and the bedroom hall, and could also be used as a fourth bedroom. There are three large, comfortable bedrooms, each with a full bath, and many closets, several walk-in.
