25 E 86Th St

25 East 86th Street is a distinguished 16-story prewar cooperative built in 1926 and located in Carnegie Hill between Fifth and Madison Avenues. The masonry building presents a formal, vaulted lobby with full-time doorman, concierge and a live-in resident manager; semi-private elevator landings serve many of the larger residences. There are approximately 103 apartments, most laid out as classic prewar multi-room homes such as Classic Six and Seven-room plans with 9-foot beamed ceilings, herringbone and oak-strip hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplaces and extensive built-in millwork. Typical apartment features include expansive entry galleries, formal dining rooms, windowed kitchens with pantry or staff rooms, generous closets and maid’s rooms that can function as third bedrooms or dens. Exterior provisions in many units include private outdoor space or balconies. Building services and conveniences encompass white-glove staff, private storage bins, bike room, central laundry, on-site superintendent, and concierge-level attention; pied-a-terre ownership and pets are permitted and financing up to about 50% has been noted. The address benefits from immediate proximity to Central Park, Museum Mile, luxury retail on Madison and Fifth, restaurants, and multiple transit options, creating a residential experience oriented to classic prewar scale, gracious entertaining, and a museum-district urban lifestyle.
