Property Description for 300 East 85th Street, 2905

NO BOARD APPROVAL--Condop with Condo rules located on the southeast corner of East 85th Street and Second Avenue. Stunning and sophisticated 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath with fabulous panoramic south, east and north views from the 29th floor. Entry foyer with coat closet leads into a very open floor plan with a large living room/dining room combination and an open chef's kitchen with all top-of-the-line appliances. The views east and south are really quite spectacular. There is a lovely large balcony off the dining room/kitchen that is large enough for a table and chairs for al fresco dining. The two bedrooms are split, each with it's own en-suite bathroom. There was a washer/dryer that was removed but the hookup is still in place. There is a common washer dryer in the hallway directly outside this apartment so the owner took advantage of this space for more closets and storage. There is also a guest powder room off the entry hall. That bathroom and the master bath have been totally renovated and are gorgeous. The master faces east and north also with breathtaking views and the master bath is windowed. The floors are light wood and beautiful and the lighting is modern and bright. Closets and storage spaces are abundant. The entire apartment is a dream. You don't want to miss seeing this one. The America has just completed it's Local Law 11 work and the scaffolding has been removed revealing a lovely grand terraced entrance. There is a 24 hour doorman, newly renovated health club with great equipment, an indoor swimming pool, sauna, party room and bike room, all at no additional expense to the residents. There is a washer and dryer on each floor. There is a small garage in the building that presently has a waiting list. The building is so centrally located, it is now convenient to almost everywhere in Manhattan. The new Q train comes at 86th and Second Avenue and Lexington Express 4,5 6 train is at Lexington and 86th. There is also a Fairway just steps away, a Whole Foods one block away and restaurants galore. The building is also convenient to both Central Park and Charles Shurz Park and dogs are welcome. You can move in or use the apartment as a pied-a-terre or rent it out. The building is investor friendly with an unlimited sublet policy or LLC purchase. Maintenance is approximately 64% deductible and you may finance up to 80%. This is one wonderful opportunity so come by this Sunday, April 8th from 1:00 to 3:00 for the first showing. I promise, you will be very happy you did.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
