11 East 86th Street, 17-A

Beautiful light streams in from three exposures to this 17th floor, seven room home. Lovely Central Park views can be seen from the living room and two bedrooms and the breadth and scale of the public rooms are just perfect for entertaining. The spacious foyer has a granite floor with two, deep, double closets. The sunny, south facing living room has a broad window, herringbone patterned floors and plenty of room for guests. The formal dining room is generous in size and could easily double as a dining room/den with several beautiful, hardwood storage cabinets. Herringbone patterned floors and an open, north exposure complete this pretty room. The windowed kitchen is partially open to the dining room and the cabinetry, some of it glass fronted, and granite counter tops and backsplash, blend seamlessly with the dining room. There's also a bar for two for coffee, a work station or to converse with the cook. There is a service door for deliveries. The staff room off the kitchen has a full, windowed bath and is certainly big enough to be a fourth bedroom or a perfectly comfortable home office. The washing machine and dryer are full sized units. The large primary bedroom is south and west facing over the city and park with plenty of built in storage and closet space. The en-suite windowed, marble bath has a double vanity and double width walk-in shower. The second and third bedrooms are well-proportioned, bright and open with one bath en-suite and one bath in the bedroom hall that can act as a powder room, too. Closets are too numerous to mention and there's even one made out of cedar. The air conditioning is through the wall. Basement storage transfers with the apartment. This perfectly located, just off Fifth Avenue and across the street from Central Park, cooperative has a newly renovated lobby, resident manager, full time door staff, fitness room (monthly fee) and bike room. The building's parking garage is private and has a discounted rate. Pets and pied a terres are permitted, as is 65% financing. There is currently a monthly assessment of $204.
