Property Description
Move right into this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom (convertible 3), 2-bath residence with a wonderfully flexible layout, which offers classic prewar elegance in the heart of Carnegie Hill. With gracious proportions, refined finishes, and thoughtfully designed living spaces, this home blends timeless charm with modern comfort. A welcoming foyer opens to an expansive south-facing living room, where three oversized windows flood the space with sunlight throughout the day. Custom-built-in bookshelves add both character and function, creating an inviting setting for elegant entertaining, and relaxed daily living. Just off the living room is a versatile den enclosed by handsome French doors. The apartment features 2 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, all designed with comfort and storage in mind. The primary bedroom is a serene retreat with abundant closet space, two oversized south-facing windows, and a spacious, stunning en-suite bath. The large second bedroom also features excellent closet space, and handsome built-ins, and benefits from a hall bath, which also functions as a guest bathroom. The dining room is perfect for large or small dinners. If desired, it can easily be incorporated into the windowed kitchen, currently outfitted with a Viking appliance suite, abundant cabinetry, and ample workspace, to create an enormous eat-in kitchen. Alternatively, it could be a third bedroom, or home office (see alternative floor plan). Additional highlights include seven oversized closets, upgraded windows, hardwood floors throughout, and through-wall air conditioning. Located just one block from Central Park, 49 East 86th Street is a distinguished full-service prewar cooperative built in 1931 by Pennington & Lewis in classic Art Deco style. Building amenities include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, direct apartment delivery of mail and packages, bike storage, laundry facilities, and private storage. The building is moments away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, Neue Gallerie, public transportation (4/5/6/Q trains, 86th Street crosstown bus), Equinox, Fairway, SoulCycle, Whole Foods) and the neighborhoods best shops, restaurants, museums, and some of the best public (zoned in PS 6) and private schools in the city. It is pet-friendly and permits up to 50% financing. Pieds-á-terre, guarantors, and in-unit washer/dryers are allowed with board approval. A flip tax of 2% applies.
