Description

Perfect Home. Perfect Location. Perfectly Priced.

The floor plan of this "Classic" 6 is perfect, as well. The Foyer leads you to an elegant Gallery with new herringbone floors. It says "home" and immediately makes you feel like entertaining. The south facing bright living room with wood burning fireplace, beamed 9 foot ceilings, new windows and open views set the perfect tone. In fact, the living room and the 2 large, well-situated and private primary bedrooms with en-suite baths have the same exposure. Light, bright and happy. At the other end of the 25 foot Gallery is the gracious dining roomadjacent to the kitchen , of course. The kitchen is eat-in! And, the staff room with bath is certainly large enough to be a bedroom. But, if you're working from home, it's the perfect tucked away office. This beautiful and timeless home has a wonderful flow and has abundant closets throughout. Finally, the price makes 12A all the more perfect. 49 East 86th Street, in the heart of Carnegie Hill, is an elegant, white glove, full service, pre-war cooperative located between Madison and Park Avenues, and seconds from Central Park and Museum Mile. Wonderful education choices, fine restaurants and great shopping all abound. Pets are welcome! Washer/Dryer permitted with Board Approval. 50% financing is allowed.

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.
