Property Description for 519 East 86th Street, 2-D
This distinguished Georgian Revival building, situated in the coveted Upper East Side, was constructed in 1939 and upgraded in 1984. Nestled quietly at the rear of the building and overlooking the serene gardens of East 87th Street brownstones, residence 2D offers a tranquil retreat with northern exposure.
Residence 2D features two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a generously sized kitchen, providing a perfect canvas for either immediate move-in or a thoughtful renovation to suit your vision.
Upon entering the residence, you are greeted by a generous gallery and built-in armoire. The expansive eat-in, windowed kitchen boasts maple cabinetry with elegant glass-paneled doors on one side, complemented by oak flooring. Recently upgraded with new stainless-steel appliances, the kitchen and gallery opens to a sunken living room via the gracious curves of an arched entry. Both the living room and bedrooms are adorned with original hardwood floors, preserving the timeless charm of the residence.
The primary bedroom offers two large, deep closets, two windows, and a dedicated vanity area with additional closet space. The primary bathroom is a work of art, featuring walls adorned with decorative tiles inspired by Henri Matisse and a deep soaking tub. The second bedroom is equally well-appointed, with a sizable closet and an en-suite bathroom with a shower.
Located less than a block from Carl Schurz Park along the East River at East 86th Street and East End Avenue, this residence provides easy access to a wealth of outdoor amenities. Enjoy the English gardens of Yorkville Park, the John Finley Esplanade for riverfront strolls, playgrounds, dog parks, and courts for basketball and pickleball. The neighborhood hosts a variety of community events, including a fall art fair, plant sales, summer concerts, movies, and holiday caroling.
The Yorkville area is exceptionally well-connected, with convenient access to the Q, 4, 5, and 6 trains, the M86 crosstown bus, and multiple bus lines along First, Second, Third, and Lexington Avenues. Nearby, you'll find Fairway, Whole Foods, farmers' markets, and Barnes & Noble..

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.
