25 East 86th Street #3B

7 Rooms/ Simply the Best!

Rarely offered, this coveted B-Line south/east facing corner apartment, approximately 2,450 sq. ft. located in this prominent prewar cooperative has come to market. Accessed via a semi-private landing it depicts a design that reflects timeless elegance in that the public rooms and bedroom hallway all radiate off of the 24.9 ft. gallery providing a gracious and grand floorplan. The 25 ft. by 15 ft. living room with wood-burning fireplace has lush tree top southern views. On the opposite side of the gallery is the dining room which is spacious enough to include a wonderful den/library area. Enter the windowed kitchen through a spacious eating area and pantry. A staff room and bath flank the kitchen.

On the other side of the gallery, a central hallway connects the corner primary bedroom with double exposures en suite bath and a separate dressing area with generous closets. The other two bedrooms are spacious and share a bath. This apartment is unusual in that all the rooms are sun-filled with outside tree top exposures. It is further distinguished by pre-war architectural details including 9 ft. beamed ceilings, original mouldings and herringbone oak stripped floors. (You may want to do some updating).

Built in 1929, 25 East 86th Street offers a full complement of staff headed by a live-in resident manager. Only a block from Fifth Avenue, Central Park, the Neuve Galerie and in close proximity to the Metropolitan Museum of Art & the Guggenheim, the famed Museum Mile. Also enjoy inviting neighborhood restaurants and lovely boutiques.
