Property Description for 45 East 85th Street, 2-A
Welcome home to your grand, spacious Upper East mansion which was recently renovated and is located in a gorgeous classic pre-war building on a beautiful tree-lined street.
Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and large well-designed entertaining spaces. Beautifully maintained hardwood oak floors and molding and high-beamed ceilings complement the feel of this elegant home.
Only two apartments per floor!
A gracious entry hall, with a large built-in coat closet, leads into a very large south-facing living room which has a wood-burning fireplace. The large formal dining room is adjacent to the spacious L-shaped new eat-in Italian kitchen with its lacquered wood cabinets, ceasar-stone counters, new Subzero and Miele appliances, two sinks, two dishwashers, double oven (with warming drawer), Bosch washer/dryer and working desk. A service door, and its elevator, is off the kitchen.
An amazing amount of storage space is a bonus. Lots of bedroom walk-in closets, with built-ins and a walk-in linen closet. A large storage unit in the basement comes with the apartment. The large master bedroom has an ensuite marble bathroom (with jacuzzi) and two walk-in closets. Two guest bedrooms have a new dual-access marble bathroom, and one of those rooms presently serves as a library with floor to ceiling bookshelves.
45 East 85th Street is a prime, much sought-after cooperative built in 1925 by architects who won a reputation for the design of floor plans that make the most of the space. The building is full service, with helpful and courteous 24-hour doorman and concierge, resident superintendent, handyman, and porter. Pets are welcome. There is a newly installed gym, private outdoor patio, bike room, updated laundry room and bathroom. A convenient garage is right next door. 50% financing is permitted. Maintenance is $5,151.
Great location – Park and Madison – near Museum Mile, Central Park, houses of worship, transportation, schools and shopping.

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.
