300 E 85Th St

Completed in 1987, this 40-story full-service condop rises on the Upper East Side with 65 units that range from one- and two-bedroom layouts to rare five-bedroom residences. The exterior reads as a large-scale residential tower with a stepped, terraced entrance and multiple balconies on select apartments. Interiors emphasize generous proportions: high ceilings, formal entrance foyers, eat-in kitchens or kitchen islands in larger units, abundant closet and storage space including walk-in closets, and frequent built-in cabinetry and chandeliers in upgraded homes. Many units feature walls of windows with open city, bridge and river views, private outdoor space on some residences and floor plans that allow for in-unit washer/dryer hookups or shared laundry on every floor. Common areas are extensive and recently refreshed — a 24-hour doorman and concierge, renovated health club with sauna and heated indoor pool, party room, bike storage and building storage. Practical services include a live-in superintendent, on-site garage (with waitlist), building laundry, and building-managed storage. The property operates under condominium rules but historically markets itself as investor- and pied-à-terre-friendly with liberal sublet, LLC and financing policies. Located between Central Park and Carl Schurz Park, the location puts residents a block from the Second Avenue Q stop and within easy walking distance of multiple subway lines, supermarkets, restaurants and cultural destinations.
