339 East 85th Street, 1-B

Welcome to this charming, renovated one-bedroom garden duplex on a picturesque, tree-lined Upper East Side block combining classic prewar character with thoughtful modern updates throughout.

The apartment features well maintained original details alongside modern upgrades, including decorative fireplaces in both the living room and bedroom, original moldings, and French doors opening onto a king-sized bedroom with a deep closet and original hardwood floors.

Enter into a gracious foyer with soaring 10 ceilings and newly refinished original hardwood floors, two closets (including a double-height closet), and a renovated windowed bathroom. The bedroom, on this same level, overlooks a serene, private back garden.

Downstairs, youll find extra storage tucked under the stairs and a hallway leading to a fully renovated, separate kitchen with shaker-style cabinets, black granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove and dishwasher. On the other side of the staircase, the hallway opens into a spacious living room that features beautiful new wide-plank floors, a decorative fireplace and sconces, plenty of room for a dining table with comfortable seating for six and a generous sitting area. The living room opens onto a private brick patio and a charming back garden furnished with cast iron seating perfect for entertaining and dining al fresco from late spring through fall.
