Property Description for 25 East 86th Street, 3-C

Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Comfort in Carnegie Hill Nestled in the heart of Carnegie Hill, between Fifth and Madison Avenues, this beautifully renovated and reimagined Classic 6 residence effortlessly combines prewar charm with contemporary updates, offering the perfect balance of elegance and functionality. Enter through a semi-private vestibule into a gracious gallery, leading to a sunlit living room with a wood-burning fireplace framed by a stunning marble mantle. The living room flows seamlessly into the formal dining room or den, both of which boast picturesque views over Madison Avenue. The meticulously renovated Chef’s kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring marble countertops, a Viking 6-burner range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and custom light wood cabinetry. A butler’s pantry doubles as an eat-in area, while a Miele washer and dryer are discreetly tucked away in a closet at the back of the kitchen. This spacious apartment offers three bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a home office. The private bedroom wing includes two generously sized bedrooms, each with excellent closet space and en-suite baths adorned with marble finishes, mosaic tile flooring, and timeless elegance. The third bedroom, originally designed as a versatile staff room or office, includes a half bath and closet, providing flexibility for various needs. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully curated, from the dark-stained herringbone floors to the custom window treatments throughout. The building boasts a handsome vaulted ceiling lobby where an attentive 24-hour doorman and concierge warmly greet you upon entering. Additional amenities include a bike room, laundry facilities, low monthly maintenance, and a live-in superintendent. Private storage conveys with the apartment, and pets and pieds-a-terre are welcome. This prewar cooperative offers the charm of a bygone era paired with modern comforts. Located in a premier school district and steps from some of the best shopping and dining on the Upper East Side, this is truly Carnegie Hill living at its finest. 50% financing permitted.

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.
