Property Description for 3 East 85th Street, 6-A

Sophisticated, charming and rarely available pre-war corner home right off of Fifth Avenue with a modest view of the western sky and Central Park!

After a morning run around the Central Park Reservoir, a game of tennis in the park or your favorite class at Equinox, pick up a cup of coffee at Starbucks or Le Pain Quotidien and come back home where you will enjoy an abundance of natural light all day! Unwind at the end of the day next to the wood-burning fireplace while watching the beautiful sunset in your favorite chair.

Enter into the openness of a welcoming kitchen featuring granite countertops and a large island, an abundance of cabinets with storage, many with frosted glass panels, top-of-the-line kitchen appliances (including a Franke sink and faucet, new Miele Futura Dimension dishwasher, DeLonghi gas stove with a double ring power burner, GE Fridge with bottom freezer, and a Samsung microwave and convection oven). This is a comfortable space and perfect for entertaining family and friends. The very large separate and quiet bedroom allows plenty of space for a desk, exercise area, and/or a king sized bed. Original pre-war details including gorgeous herringbone oak floors and high beamed ceilings and moldings complete the old-world charm which is abundant in this home. The apartment also offers truly ample storage, with four large closets and a large wardrobe in the bedroom.

Central Park, the Museum Mile, Butterfield Market, Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, and cross-town bus service are all at your doorstep, and a few short blocks away you will find the East Side subway lines, including the Lexington Avenue Express. The location is also convenient to many Upper East Side shops, restaurants, schools, houses of worship, and much more.

The beautiful and intimate nine story limestone, Renaissance style building was built in 1913 and designed by the notable James E.R. Carpenter. Highlights of this well run co-op building include a charming Art Deco lobby, two new fully automated elevators, a laundry room, dedicated storage, as well as a live-in super who accepts packages, deliveries, mail and delivers them to your door.

Pets (dogs under 60 lbs. when fully grown) are welcome, and pied-à-terres are allowed. 75% financing is allowed and 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.

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.
