432 East 85th Street #3

At 1,099 square feet, this very spacious 5 room/2 bedroom residence occupies the entire third floor of the building. Living room has a Juliet balcony AND a wood burning fireplace. The renovated windowed kitchen sports custom wood cabinetry, polished granite countertops, and top-of the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Fisher and Paykel refrigerator and Electrolux range. There is a sizable dining area, large enough to accommodate formal meals. Wall-to-wall carpeting covers most of the floors. There is track lighting, as well as recessed lighting.

The primary bedroom is large, big enough for a king-sized bed; its walk-in closet has custom-built shelving AND drawers, and there are two other walk-in closets in this home. The primary bathroom has a soaking tub, a rain shower, and even body jets! The second bathroom has a Miele washer and dryer. There are through-the wall air conditioners, so no need to labor installing and removing A/C units with the change of season.

With seven residences 432 East 85th St. is a small, close-knit building. Nestled on a very quiet street it's in a charming part of Yorkville, close to Carl Schurz Park, which has an English-style garden, a playground, and great views of the East River. A little further south on York Avenue is John Jay Park, with more playgrounds and even an outdoor pool! Up the street is the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other great museums that are along New York's Museum Mile. Also up the block is the great restaurant scene on Second Avenue, with new eateries as well as some traditional New York treasures. And there's great access to public transportation: the Second Avenue subway is 5 minutes away, and another 5 minutes will put you at an Express stop on the 4, 5 and 6 trains. Cats are OK, but sorry, no dogs.
