Property Description for 444 East 86th Street, 5-BC

Unique opportunity to own a tastefully renovated combination unit in a prime location in Yorkville. This impeccably designed 7-room residence boasts three sun drenched south-facing bedrooms as well as three full bathrooms, a dining room, a den and home office/study that can serve as a flex fourth room serving as a perfect office or den and a balcony.

As you enter Apartment 5BC, the gracious foyer leads you into an expansive 26-foot long living room. Ideally located off the living room is a balcony perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Adjacent to the living room is the dining room which flows smoothly into the well-appointed windowed kitchen where you will find top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a Subzero refrigerator with built-in water dispenser, Miele dishwasher, and Viking oven/range stove-top. This kitchen is further enhanced by custom cabinetry, subway tiling for a stylish backsplash, granite countertops and elegant tilework.

The apartment has been thoughtfully designed and includes hardwood floors, crown and base molding, CAT 5 and cable wiring throughout making it ideal to work-from-home and even a setback on the living room wall to discreetly conceal any wiring associated with your television and keep it flush with the wall.

All the south facing bedrooms are soaked in sunlight and are pin-drop quiet due to their exposure. The primary bedroom is gracious and contains a sizable walk in closet as well as an ensuite bathroom with French drain and additional jets in the glass encased standing shower to round out this private suite. The second and third bedrooms are both generously sized and offer their own ample closet space. All three bedroom entryways are each appointed with their own transoms, allowing the southern sunlight saturating this side of Apartment 5BC to brighten the hallway as well. Just outside of the third bedroom you will find the den as well as the home office with a pocket door separating the two spaces to utilize as much of the space as possible. Another very large storage walk-in closet off of the home office completes the space.

444 East 86th Street is a full service luxury cooperative with a full-time doorman, live-in super, and a porter. The building has a gym, laundry room as well as a secured garage. Situated one block away from Carl Schurz Park as well as in close proximity to the 4, 5, 6 and Q subway line entrance on 86th Street, 444 East 86th Street also has Whole Foods and Fairway Market just blocks away. This is a pet-friendly building that allows co-purchasing, pied a terres and subletting. 75% financing allowed and there is no flip tax. Please note there is an assessment of $437.23 per month that runs through December 2022.

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.
