Description

Welcome to Residence 5B at The Georgica - a full-service, boutique condominium perfectly situated on a tranquil, tree-lined block in the heart of the Upper East Side. This nearly 1300sf corner two-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers a thoughtfully designed split-bedroom layout and a seamless blend of form and function. A gracious entry foyer opens into an expansive living and dining space, anchored by oversized floor-to-ceiling windows with double exposures to the north and east, inviting in wonderful natural light and treetop views. The open kitchen is elegantly appointed with a Miele appliance suite, including a five-burner range with pot filler, wine refrigerator, and dishwasher. Calacatta marble spans the countertops, full-height backsplash, custom range hood, and generous island, which offers additional prep space, seating for four, and easy flow for entertaining. The king-size primary suite includes custom built-ins and a serene, spa-quality bath with Waterworks fixtures, radiant heated floors, double vanity, deep soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The spacious secondary bedroom is also king-sized and features custom storage, with a full second bathroom and Bosch washer/dryer located just off the hall. Additional highlights include white oak herringbone floors, high ceilings, triple-zone central air, and generous closet space throughout. Motorized shades are installed in every room for convenience and comfort. The Georgica, located at 305 East 85th Street, offers a full suite of amenities, including 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a landscaped roof deck, fitness center, children’s playroom, bike storage, and a welcoming lobby. Ideally located near the Q and 4/5/6 trains, as well as the neighborhood’s most beloved restaurants, markets, parks, and boutiques.

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.
