A well-positioned studio on a high floor at 415 East 85th Street, meticulously maintained and ready to live in. The layout is more considered than most -- with ample space for a living room set, dining, and a desk. Currently outfitted with a Murphy bed (that can easily be removed), custom closets including a massive walk-in, and new windows that bring in steady northern light without the afternoon glare.
The kitchen is properly equipped with stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher. Small details have been attended to: a Toto toilet, quality finishes, nothing feeling provisional.
The building's rooftop terrace is a genuine asset -- open in all directions, with views that take in the East River to the east and the midtown skyline to the west.There is also 24-hour doorman, live-in super, laundry, additional storage, and garage with discounted parking for residents.
415 East 85th Street sits in the heart of the Upper East Side, one block from the Q train at 86th Street and two blocks from the East River promenade -- a rare combination of transit access and open space in Manhattan. The immediate stretch of Second and Third Avenues offers the full range of daily conveniences: grocery stores, pharmacies, dry cleaners, and a dense mix of dining. Carl Schurz Park is a four-block walk, offering one of the quieter waterfront escapes in the city. The 86th Street corridor connects easily to the rest of the East Side by both subway and crosstown bus. The neighborhood strikes a balance that's increasingly hard to find -- genuinely residential in feel, yet completely self-sufficient.
