Property Description for 55 East 86th Street, 3-C

This elegant two-bedroom apartment is located in a beautiful and rarely-transacted Upper East Side pre-war condo building. Located along the Fifth Avenue-Park Avenue corridor, 55 East 86th Street Condo is one block away from Central Park and the Museum Mile. It boasts access to many of Manhattan’s most sought-after services and places including among others unmatched boutique retail and dining offerings of the Upper East Side. Meticulously up-kept and in turnkey condition, the home retains the pre-war charm of high-beamed ceilings, crown moldings and original wood floors and marries it with modern high-end amenities including a central air-conditioning unit. The stylish home offers two large bedrooms with custom-built closets, a multi-functional living room, an entry foyer, a discrete office niche, ample storage space, a full bathroom and a converted half-bathroom that was re-purposed into a laundry and linen room. In particular, the second bedroom features a custom-built space-saving storage shelf that includes two retractable desks. The modern and spacious eat-in kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances including Viking range and refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, as well as custom cabinetry to ceiling and beautiful Carrera marble countertops. For further convenience, the home also features its own laundry and linen room equipped with Miele side-by-side washer & dryer. A large windowed bathroom with marble top vanity, oversized mirrored cabinets, Kallista fixtures and a cast-iron bathtub are also a bonus. A demonstrated track record of solid building management has allowed the condo to offer superior amenities and services against relatively modest common charges. The full-service building welcomes pets, offers flexibility for use in its condominium structured ownership along with amenities such as a playroom, panoramic roof deck and garden, gym, common laundry room, bicycle storage room and private storage units in the basement for its residents. White-glove services are supported by a tenured team, including a live-in superintendent, round-the-clock doormen and elevator attendants while also providing on-site building maintenance and support.

Carnegie Hill | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Carnegie Hill is a small neighborhood at the northern tip of the Upper East Side that borders Central Park. It is steeped in history, great wealth, architecture and culture. It is known for its world-class museums and its rows of historic mansions. Nothing much changes here as the entire area is landmarked, preventing the proliferation of high-rise developments. Thus the buildings stay a human scale, the sky is aplenty and the neighborhood kind of feels like a small town to its long time residents.

The name Carnegie Hill is derived from the industrial magnate Andrew Carnegie, when Carnegie decided to build himself a mansion at 91st Street and Fifth Avenue….

Carnegie Hill is a family neighborhood with old fashioned upper crust money. The mid-rise co-ops that line the avenues are among the most prestigious addresses in the city. The avenues are lined with small restaurants, boutique shops

The residential towers that have proliferated on the eastside of Third Avenue in the East 90s simply do not exist between Lexington and Fifth.
