55 East 86th Street
Welcome home to this rarely available generously scaled classic 7 apartment, fabulously situated in a sought-after full-service prewar condominium in prime Carnegie Hill, one block from Central Park and defined by enviable natural light, open city views from three exposures, charming architectural details, and an ideal layout providing the perfect setting both for grand entertaining and intimate gatherings. The grand entry gallery opens onto the gracious sun-filled living room featuring high beamed ceilings, southern cityscape views over double-wide tree lined 86th Street, crown moldings, ample space for multiple seating arrangements, and anchored by a lovely wood-burning fireplace. Flowing beautifully from the living room and separated by French doors, sits the stately dining room which also functions wonderfully as a media room/den, or as a combination dining/casual living space. The windowed kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone quartz countertops, and boasts a separate windowed breakfast room. The private bedroom wing includes the corner primary bedroom with a wall of closets, an ensuite bath with new vanity, and sunny open views south and east. The two additional bedrooms are well-proportioned, both sharing an adjacent bathroom also with a new vanity. The bright staff room has an ensuite windowed bathroom with stall shower, and could also be utilized as an office, guest room or fourth bedroom. An in-unit washer/dryer, hardwood floors, impressive storage space, including a giant walk-in closet in the bedroom corridor which could serve as an office complete this not to be missed gem. Pets are welcome and private storage transfers with the sale. The entire apartment has been freshly painted, ready for you to move right in or make your own
Built in 1924, this established white-glove building offers residents top service and amenities including a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, attended elevator, state-of-the-art gym, playroom, spectacular roof deck, and private storage. Perfectly located, 55 East 86th Street is just off Museum Mile and minutes to Central Park, the city’s best private and public schools, restaurants, boutiques, and transportation.
