Property Description for 535 East 86th Street, 4-J

The semi-private landing sets the elegant tone for this sprawling residence. A large welcoming foyer unfolds into an open-plan over-scaled living and dining room. The graceful flow that exists between these two adjacent rooms is ideal for entertaining. Gentle light from ten large windows brings a natural texture to this expansive space. This entertainer's dream dining room looks over historic, charming Henderson Place townhouses, and has custom-built cabinetry that houses a cocktail bar. The smartly planned, enclosed corner balcony home office is perfect for today's work lifestyle. The windowed kitchen delivers practically and aesthetically with good counter space, breakfast bar, plentiful custom cabinets and pantry storage. Top-tier appliances include a Viking refrigerator, two dishwasher drawers, a full-size washer, vented dryer and vented oven exhaust, If you're a fan of the open concept kitchen, this space can be reimagined - opened up to the grand living/dining space.

A hallway off the entry foyer leads to the bedroom wing and provides access to the gracious powder room with exquisite marble console and Sherle Wagner fittings. The peaceful primary bedroom has five closets in addition to two walk-in closets and the ensuite marble bathroom features a steam shower. The well-scaled, cheerfully bright guest room also has an ensuite bathroom and has roomy closets, custom-built-in bookcases, shelves, and storage space that provides flexible functionality.

The beauty of this residence is that it can be re-invented, or just shined up some. The proposed alternate plan for this coveted corner residence can be an inspiration for your own creative transformation of this home. I look forward to introducing you and your design team to space, location, and opportunity - all in a pet-friendly full-service luxury cooperative featuring a full-time doorman, concierge, resident manager, private garage, gym, bike room, individual storage and a magnificently landscaped common garden. This prime location is 1/2 a block from Carl Schurz Park, one block from the East River Promenade, and adjacent to historic Henderson Place. Close by is every area cultural, shopping, dining, entertainment, and fitness destination not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options. Life here is easy, fun, and convenient. Henderson House is financially sound with no underlying mortgage and the building does not impose a flip tax on sales.

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.
