Property Description for 322 East 85th Street, 3-B
322 East 85th Street, 3B Property Description
This unique, boutique pre-war Co-Op (built in 1905), features only 15 discreet apartments on a beautiful tree-lined Upper East Side block.
Unit 3B is a quiet gem in this building. Completely renovated in 2017, the owner not only invested an additional $135,000 but literally gutted it down to the studs, and we have the photos to prove it ;)
The apartment has NEW electrical, NEW plumbing, and even $20,000 in insulated SOUND PROOFING!
The railroad layout, with high ceilings, recessed lighting, and oversized windows (with air conditioning) features a huge eat-in kitchen with high-end appliances, a bathroom with a very spacious walk-in shower (and extra tall custom glass doors), a washer / dryer, exposed brick, tons of custom installed cabinetry and exceptional fixtures and fittings (California Faucets in chrome, Porcelenosa slate tile, tall 3-drawer granite top sink and giant mirrored medicine cabinet) complete the truly serene surroundings.
And the storage here is amazing too, with 2 big closets and a sliding 2-door armoire. (included in the sale!)
In 2018, the Co-Op added XL storage cages in the basement, and this unit literally won the placement lottery because the owner had first pick to choose the location. That resulted in the best accessible unit, AND it comes with the purchase of the apartment.
In 2020, the Co-Op is discussing a prospective renovation of the lobby which will make coming home to the building as appealing as the entry to your own wonderful home.
This apartment offers the luxury of a new condominium without the price tag!
Your commute will be a breeze! 322 East 85 is situated only one block away from the new Q-line subway station, and 4 blocks from the 4 / 5 / 6, or only one block from the crosstown 86th Street bus.
The neighborhood location cannot be beat. You are in the heart of all the UES action. Fairway, Whole Foods, a new CVS, local Movie theater, Chick-fil-A, Shake Shack, Chipotle, Red Hen Bakery, Levain Bakery, Van Lewen ice cream and endless pubs, eateries and retail like Sephora, Ulta, H&M, Banana Republic, and Barnes & Noble are all in the immediate vicinity.
Your return each day will be to the peaceful joy of this wonderful home in a delightful neighborhood and building.
The Co-Op is pet friendly, with a liberal sublet policy.
The Seller is also a real estate broker who built this for their own use so you can expect the best. You don’t want to miss this opportunity. Please contact us to schedule a convenient appointment!

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.
