Property Description for 305 East 85th Street, 10-B

Immaculate corner two-bedroom with huge balcony at the Georgica! Entering through a spacious foyer, one is immediately struck by the floor-to-ceiling windows and unobstructed city views facing north and east. Light-filled on even the grayest of days, this property has nine-foot ceilings and boasts all of the high-end finishes, appliances, and fixtures one would expect in the best of NYC properties. The entry hall, with coffered ceiling and custom lighting, leads to the open floorplan living space, with a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining. The windowed chef's kitchen has Carrera marble counter tops, a breakfast bar, Miele and Bosch appliances, and two-zone wine storage. The living-dining room opens onto a private balcony large enough to accommodate outdoor seating and entertaining, and provides a wonderful place to enjoy one's morning coffee or evening cocktails with friends. The master bedroom suite has its own private entrance to the balcony, and has generous custom-fitted closets, including an enormous walk-in closet. The pristine en-suite marble master bathroom has a large picture window with motorized shades, radiant-heat floors, and heated towel rack. The second bedroom also enjoys floor-to-ceiling windows facing north and is accompanied by an extra-large closet with custom fitted cabinetry, and a second full bathroom. All rooms have motorized shades to manage the spectacular light that shines in all day, year-round. The current owners made many significant upgrades, evident throughout: this property is fitted with multi-zoned mobile device-enabled thermostats, multi-media outlets, motorized shades, solid oak herringbone floors, and nine-inch baseboard moldings. A Bosch washer-dryer closet and abundant closet space with custom millwork and hardware round out this spectacular property. Pin-drop quiet on a tree-lined street, yet with convenient access to all that the City has to offer, this is not to be missed for Upper East Side living at its best. This building has a tax abatement until 2021, at which point monthly taxes for this unit will increase to just $1,386/month. Designed by award-winning architects, Cetra/Ruddy, the Georgica is a full-service, amenity-filled condominium on a quiet, tree-lined street. With only 2-4 residences per floor, a peaceful oasis awaits. The building features an expansive landscaped roof deck with panoramic city views, outdoor kitchen and lounge, and separate play area. The Georgica has a 24-hour doorman-concierge, a well-equipped fitness center, children's play room, bike room, cold storage, and resident manager. Close to Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, great gourmet dining, and neighborhood shops. Conveniently located by the new Second Avenue subway with express service to Lincoln Center (57th and 7th Avenue) and Times Square; the 4-5-6 Lexington Avenue subway; and 86th Street crosstown bus.

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.
