Property Description for 25 East 86th Street, 6-E

Bring your designer/contractor to this highly sought after pre-war, luxury co-op building on a Park Block near museums, galleries and shops at the foot of Carnegie Hill.

A flexible and fabulous layout awaits in this 2 bed, 2 bath corner apartment, with a large entry Foyer/Gallery and formal Dining room, in an elegant lobbied building with a 24 hour doorman, a concierge and attentive staff AND semi-private elevator banks with only 3 units sharing passenger elevator AND freight elevator.

6E has an open-floorplan feel, centered on the Foyer/Gallery. Reconfigured as a split layout, this unique E line splits the Bedrooms by moving the Dining room to the 2nd bedroom and opening up with mirrored french doors to the Foyer/Gallery. The previous large dining room was used as a large corner Library/Den or 2nd Bedroom. The living room is bright and has a stone fireplace mantel and fireplace.

This former designer's home has great touches, with mirrored French Doors and walls heighten the light , original tubs and fixtures and Herringbone Wood Floors in the large rooms.

25 E 86th sits one block from Central Park on the corner of Madison, and has a full run of shops on the Ground Level, like Brooks Brothers, Alice & Olivia, Alex Mills, florists and eyewear stores. Also on adjacent blocks are grocery stores, cafes, and galleries (Neue Galerie). Only a few short blocks away are legendary destinations, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, Cooper Hewitt and Frick Madison. The current price reflects the work needed, but is also a great value when looking at the location and the prices for similar units in the surrounding buildings.

.
The apartment is in 'Estate' condition and is in need of plumbing and electrical updating, but priced accordingly.
Photos with furniture are virtually staged.
Washers and Dryers, pets allowed.

Carnegie Hill | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Carnegie Hill is a small neighborhood at the northern tip of the Upper East Side that borders Central Park. It is steeped in history, great wealth, architecture and culture. It is known for its world-class museums and its rows of historic mansions. Nothing much changes here as the entire area is landmarked, preventing the proliferation of high-rise developments. Thus the buildings stay a human scale, the sky is aplenty and the neighborhood kind of feels like a small town to its long time residents.

The name Carnegie Hill is derived from the industrial magnate Andrew Carnegie, when Carnegie decided to build himself a mansion at 91st Street and Fifth Avenue….

Carnegie Hill is a family neighborhood with old fashioned upper crust money. The mid-rise co-ops that line the avenues are among the most prestigious addresses in the city. The avenues are lined with small restaurants, boutique shops

The residential towers that have proliferated on the eastside of Third Avenue in the East 90s simply do not exist between Lexington and Fifth.
