Description

Unique opportunity to own a tastefully renovated combination unit in a prime location in Yorkville. This impeccably designed 7-room residence boasts three sun drenched south-facing bedrooms as well as three full bathrooms, a dining room, a den and home office/study that can serve as a flex fourth room serving as a perfect office or den and a balcony.

As you enter Apartment 5BC, the gracious foyer leads you into an expansive 26-foot long living room. Ideally located off the living room is a balcony perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Adjacent to the living room is the dining room which flows smoothly into the well-appointed windowed kitchen where you will find top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a Subzero refrigerator with built-in water dispenser, Miele dishwasher, and Viking oven/range stove-top. This kitchen is further enhanced by custom cabinetry, subway tiling for a stylish backsplash, granite countertops and elegant tilework.

The apartment has been thoughtfully designed and includes hardwood floors, crown and base molding, CAT 5 and cable wiring throughout making it ideal to work-from-home and even a setback on the living room wall to discreetly conceal any wiring associated with your television and keep it flush with the wall.

All the south facing bedrooms are soaked in sunlight and are pin-drop quiet due to their exposure. The primary bedroom is gracious and contains a sizable walk in closet as well as an ensuite bathroom with French drain and additional jets in the glass encased standing shower to round out this private suite. The second and third bedrooms are both generously sized and offer their own ample closet space. All three bedroom entryways are each appointed with their own transoms, allowing the southern sunlight saturating this side of Apartment 5BC to brighten the hallway as well. Just outside of the third bedroom you will find the den as well as the home office with a pocket door separating the two spaces to utilize as much of the space as possible. Another very large storage walk-in closet off of the home office completes the space.

444 East 86th Street is a full service luxury cooperative with a full-time doorman, live-in super, and a porter. The building has a gym, laundry room as well as a secured garage. Situated one block away from Carl Schurz Park as well as in close proximity to the 4, 5, 6 and Q subway line entrance on 86th Street, 444 East 86th Street also has Whole Foods and Fairway Market just blocks away. This is a pet-friendly building that allows co-purchasing, pied a terres and subletting. 75% financing allowed and there is no flip tax. Please note there is an assessment of $437.23 per month that runs through December 2022.

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.
