Property Description for 525 East 86th Street, 2-G

Sun-Filled, South-Facing Two-Bedroom with Powder Room Near Carl Schurz Park Ideally positioned just steps from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, this sun-drenched, south-facing two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath home offers an elegant blend of spacious proportions, natural light, and thoughtful upgrades—all within a full-service Upper East Side cooperative. The generous entry foyer opens to a sprawling great room framed by a wall of newly installed windows, offering quiet treetop views over a peaceful two-way street. With room to create distinct living, dining, and home office zones, the layout is ideal for both entertaining and everyday life. New Roman shades add a refined touch to the living room’s clean, open lines. The renovated kitchen is designed for the home chef, featuring white cabinetry, quartz-style countertops, a mirrored backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and an abundance of pantry storage. Premium appliances include a Verona gas cooktop and stove, along with full-sized stainless-steel finishes. The oversized primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and seating area and includes two generous closets. A well-appointed full bath sits just outside. The second bedroom functions perfectly as a guest room or home office. A separate powder room with integrated storage adds everyday convenience and is a rare perk at this price point. Storage is exceptional throughout the home, including a walk-in entry closet with custom shelving, a linen closet, and deep bedroom closets. Walnut-stained hardwood floors, updated lighting, and through-wall A/C complete this turnkey residence. Building Features: 525 East 85th Street is a full-service, pet-friendly cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and a responsive staff with a strong reputation for service. Amenities include a landscaped courtyard, a fitness center (modest annual fee), updated laundry facilities (currently undergoing upgrades), private storage and bike room, and a garage. Pets are welcome. Location Highlights: Enjoy life just steps from the East River, Carl Schurz Park, and Gracie Mansion, with easy access to the Q train, crosstown and downtown buses, and all the best of the Upper East Side. Moments from Whole Foods, Fairway, Museum Mile, boutique bakeries, and beloved neighborhood cafes. Co-op Policies: 60% financing permitted, up to 2 pets allowed and one garage space per unit. Welcome home to quiet sophistication on one of Yorkville’s most desirable residential blocks.

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.
