25 East 86th St #4B New York City, NY 10028

Elegant 3-Bedroom Residence with Staff Room minutes from Central Park Perfectly situated at the nexus of culture, convenience, and classic Upper East Side refinement, Residence 4B at 25 East 86th Street offers a rare opportunity to own a gracious prewar home in one of Manhattan's most distinguished neighborhoods and sought-after buildings. Accessed via a semi-private landing, the home opens into a gallery that serves as the central axis, with both the public rooms and bedroom wing radiating outward to create a floorplan that is balanced, grand, flexible and inviting. Classic prewar detail -9-foot beamed ceilings, and herringbone virgin oak floors-add timeless character, while oversized windows flood the interiors with natural light. The residence includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, three full baths, and a versatile staff room with a private entrance. The expansive living room is anchored by a working wood-burning fireplace, while the formal dining room stands apart, ideal for entertaining on a grand scale or more intimate gatherings. Off the kitchen, a flexible bonus room offers adaptability to suit your lifestyle needs, whether as a home office, pantry, or other customized use. The kitchen and bathrooms, thoughtfully renovated not long ago, provide modern comfort and style with the potential for personalization through minor updates. Ample closet space and a washer/dryer further enhance daily functionality.
