Incredible penthouse apartment with a private balcony featuring stunning park and river views. The apartment is a generous size with an abundance of natural light and storage space.
Located in the heart of Yorkville, this 14-story apartment building occupies a prime location across from Carl Schurz Park on the southwest corner of 85th Street and East End Avenue. Walk past the friendly 24-hour doorman and cross the street to enjoy a beautiful playground with the kids or scenic jog on East River Walk. The building is also adjacent to the very prestigious Chapin School.
There is very little traffic on the avenue and the stunning main entrance to the attractive park is just one block to the north at 86th Street, which is a major cross-town street and makes for easy transportation.
The beige-brick doorman building was designed by Hyman Isaac Feldman in 1951 and is notable for the delicate balcony railings with diagonal patterning in the center of its avenue frontage above its canopied entrance. The balconies protrude a bit from the rest of the facade making the handsome railings even more visually pronounced.
The Upper East Side has a reputation of wealth and opulence. Once home to the wealthiest New Yorkers (like the Kennedys, the Roosevelts, and the Rockefellers), the UES is filled with ornate and beautiful buildings. Today, the Upper East Side is still considered one of the more expensive neighborhoods, however, in recent years, it has begun to see younger arrivals (people in their 20s and 30s) who are finding better deals up north, away from the Lower East Side and/or hip Williamsburg.
With the completion of the 2nd Avenue train, the neighborhood is only becoming more accessible to everyone as previously the only train servicing the UEW was the 4,5,6 on Lexington Avenue. Even better, the further east you go, the cheaper the apartments get. All this is only adding on to the interest from renters who no longer have to commute for as long to get to the area.
The Upper East Side contains some smaller neighborhoods such as Yorkville, Lenox Hill, Carnegie…
