225 East 86th Street, 506

Welcome to 225 East 86th Street, Apartment #506, a distinctive one-bedroom triplex that offers something increasingly rare in Manhattan: the feeling of a home, with multiple levels, thoughtful separation of space, and a welcoming sense of arrival - all within a full-service condominium. Enter through a proper foyer that immediately sets the tone for this unique residence, offering the kind of entry experience more commonly found in a townhouse than a traditional apartment. From here, the thoughtfully designed triplex unfolds across three levels, creating a natural separation between living, entertaining, and private spaces. On the lower level, the sun-filled living room serves as the heart of the home. Oversized south-facing windows bathe the space in natural light, while a charming Juliet balcony adds architectural character and provides a connection to the outdoors. Warm hardwood floors and generous windows complement the intimate scale of the room, creating a space that feels both cozy and inviting. The center level, where you enter the apartment, is home to the kitchen and bathroom and serves as a natural bridge between the living room and bedroom. The kitchen features an abundance of warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a windowed opening that allows natural light from both the living room below and bedroom above to filter into the space. The adjacent bathroom is outfitted with a glass-enclosed tub and a vanity with generous storage below. At the top of the triplex, the private bedroom offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Enjoying the same southern exposure as the living room, the bedroom is filled with natural light and features two exceptionally large closets with built-in storage, providing an abundance of space for both wardrobe and belongings. Located in The Buckingham East, a boutique condominium with full-time doorman service, elevator, landscaped roof deck, laundry, bike storage, and resident storage, the building combines the ease of full-service living with an intimate, residential atmosphere. Ideally situated on East 86th Street, the residence is surrounded by the best of the Upper East Side, with an array of dining, shopping, fitness, and neighborhood conveniences just outside the door. Fairway and Equinox are nearby, while Central Park and the Q and 4/5/6 subway lines are just a short distance away. For those seeking something beyond the typical Manhattan one-bedroom, #506 offers a rare combination of condominium convenience and the warmth, character, and sense of separation found in a home. THIS CAN BE RENTED EITHER FULLY FURNISHED OR UNFURNISHED.
