Description

The perfect combination of space, light and functionality. This expansive two bed, two bath apartment has hardwood floors, tons of windows (three different exposures) and an abundance of storage throughout. The oversized living room can easily accommodate a separate dining area and overlooks the trees of beautiful 85th Street. The generously proportioned and renovated eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances and wood cabinetry. The master bedroom is also oversized and features tree top northern exposures. The second bedroom overlooks the manicured backyards of classic Upper East Side townhomes. Both bathrooms have been recently updated as well. 400 East 85th Street is a full-service, elevator, pet-friendly coop with 24-hour doorman, live-in super, on-site parking garage, fitness center, private storage, and bike room. The elevators were just renovated as well as the laundry room and the gym. The coop features low maintenance, no flip tax and allows pied-a-terres, gifting, co-purchasing and guarantors. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, the property is in easy reach of great restaurants and shops, Whole Foods, Carl Schurz Park and multiple transportation options, including the Q train at 86th and 2nd Avenue and cross town bus just around the corner. The photos have been virtually staged.

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.
