Description

Just a half block away from Central Park and Museum Mile, Three East 85th Street is a boutique prewar building that radiates charm from the moment you enter the lobby. The building has been renovated, but has managed to keep its prewar charm without sacrificing today’s modern conveniences. Upon entering apartment 3C, you will be greeted with a traditional entryway, which includes 9.5 ft ceilings throughout. The entryway leads you to the kitchen, which has been opened to the living room, providing for easy day to day living. There are granite counters, stainless steel appliances, ceramic flooring, and an enormous walk-in pantry. The living/dining room is very spacious with two large east facing windows. There is hardwood flooring throughout the living room and bedroom. The bedroom is over-sized, and exceptionally quiet with two large windows. There are two oversized closets. The building is pet friendly and allows 75% financing. There is building laundry, a live in resident manager, and the apartment transfers with a storage unit. Located on the Upper Eastside, you will enjoy immediate access to many of the best restaurants and shopping boutiques in New York. Convenient for six bus lines, including the crosstown bus on 86th Street, and the express 4/5 trains are only a few blocks away.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
