Property Description for 515 East 85th Street, 8-D
Move right into this beautiful sun-drenched, spacious, and fully renovated south-facing junior four home. The apartment is in mint condition and boasts a brand new kitchen, an updated bathroom, new sound-proof windows, refurbished hard-wood-oak flooring, outfitted closets, and a smart and thoughtful second sleeping area or home office.
Enter into a wall of oversized south-facing windows in both the living room and primary bedroom, overlooking lush treetop and open sky views along a quiet tree-lined street, less than a block from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Esplanade. Extremely spacious throughout, the spectacularly sunny and cheerful living room, with ample space for dining, is perfect for entertaining. The main bedroom easily fits a king-sized bed and end tables, with additional room for a seating area or office area. The additional sleeping area, or office, has a built-in closet, frosted glass sliding door, and a brand new through-the-wall air conditioner. The chef's kitchen has a breakfast bar with white quartz countertops and top-of-the-line appliances throughout including a stainless steel sink, white lacquer cabinets (all on soft-close), Whirlpool full-size dishwasher, and a Blomberg refrigerator and freezer. The gracious foyer is also well proportioned, equipped with a large closet and additional hanging space. The apartment has incredible closet space throughout.
515 East 85th Street is a boutique, full-service building with full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, common laundry, available storage cages and bike storage (with fee), and a garage (subject to fees and wait list). The co-op is in superb physical and financial shape and allows pets, pied a terre, and subletting with board approval.
The best shopping and restaurants are close at hand as is transportation, with easy access to the FDR Drive, the crosstown bus on both 79th street and 86th street, brand new 86th Street Q train station, and NYC Ferry to Wall Street, Midtown, Long Island City, Roosevelt Island, and the Rockaways. This location could not be more serene yet convenient with Carl Schurz Park and East River Esplanade less than a block away with its wonderful walk-ways, green lawns, river-view promenades, huge playground, two dog parks, and basketball courts - a little known hidden gem to enjoy at your doorstep.

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.
