Property Description for 401 East 86th Street, 20-H

This incredibly bright and spacious two-bedroom home has large windows in every room, tons of closet space, a large kitchen with a wine fridge and countertop seating, washer/dryer already installed, and open city views from two different exposures.

As you walk into the foyer, you immediately see sunlight pouring in from the western exposure in the living room and the northern exposure in the kitchen. Off the graciously proportioned living room is the second bedroom, which faces north and is large enough for a kind bed.

The windowed kitchen is fully outfitted with stainless steel appliances including a wine refrigerator, a dual-drawered dishwasher, and a doublewide refrigerator.

The master bedroom, which has plenty of room for a king-sized bed and additional furniture, sits in its own wing offering privacy from the rest of the apartment. The room offers generous closet space as well as an additional office space, which can be converted to a walk-in closet, or left as a bonus space. Just outside the master, there is another extra-large closet as well as a bathroom.

Fairmont Manor is a well-maintained full-service building with a 24-hour door attendant and delightful staff. Residents also enjoy a beautifully landscaped roof deck with panoramic views of the city and East River, parking garage (with discounted rate for residents when available), laundry room, and well-equipped fitness center.

Stress-free commutes start here with easy access to the 2nd Ave Q express train, 4/5/6 trains, and M86 crosstown bus. Enjoy the close proximity to Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, Asphalt Green, Whole Foods, Fairway, and the area's finest restaurants.

Pets, Pied-a-terres, guarantors, and co-purchasing are permitted with approval as is financing up to 75%.

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.
