345 E 86Th St

A full-service midrise cooperative completed in 1971 and rising roughly 21 stories, this Upper East Side building offers primarily two- and three-bedroom residence configurations with occasional convertible layouts. The façade and massing are typical of early 1970s Manhattan residential towers, set on a leafy block near Carl Schurz Park and close to the Q and Lexington Avenue subway lines. Apartments frequently feature substantial window banks, private terraces or balconies of varying sizes, formal entry foyers, eat-in and separate dining areas, and abundant closet and pantry storage. Interiors combine traditional details—hardwood flooring, crown moldings, and formal dining rooms—with periodic modern renovations: updated kitchens, marble or slate baths, and recessed lighting. Building-level services emphasize full-service amenities: 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike room, private storage, and an on-site garage with discounted shareholder parking. The co-op’s rules are buyer-friendly relative to some peers: pets, pied-à-terre, co-purchasing and guarantors are permitted with board approval, and sublets and washer/dryer installations may be allowed under certain conditions. Its location delivers a mix of quiet residential streets, nearby waterfront green space, and immediate access to neighborhood shops, grocery markets and restaurants, supporting a comfortable, amenity-rich Upper East Side lifestyle.
