Description

All showings conducted by appointment. This includes open houses.

Location, location, location...with a touch of classic, prewar style! Welcome home to this refreshed, sunny, south-facing home steps from 5th Avenue and Central Park. Currently configured as an oversized 1 bedroom with formal living and dining rooms, this versatile plan allows for an easy conversion to a well-proportioned 2 bedroom apartment.

From the foyer, your eye is immediately drawn to an elegant, bright living room showcasing 9ft original beamed ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, mahogany built-ins, and a wood burning fireplace. Off the formal living room is a formal dining room leading to an updated, windowed kitchen with custom mahogany cabinetry & stainless appliances from Sub Zero, Gaggenau, & Miele.

From the dining room, a hallway joins a restored, original windowed bathroom to the south-facing king-sized bedroom (also accessible from the living room).

Situated approximately 250ft from Central Park, 7 East 85th Street is an immaculate, pet-friendly, prewar cooperative located in one of the most enviable pockets of the Upper East Side. With the Metropolitan Museum of Art across the street, gourmet grocers such as Butterfield Morton Williams and Fairway a stone's throw away, easy access to both subway (4/5/6) and bus (M1/M2/M3/M4/M86-SBS) service on 86th street, and an abundance of notable restaurants and shopping destinations, this is the textbook definition of a prime location. 7 East 85th Street also offers a comprehensive amenity package to ensure you are feeling right at home: Live-in super, laundry room, private storage, bike storage, landscaped interior courtyard, and a parking garage located next door.

75% financing permitted.

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.
