425 E 86Th St

425 East 86th Street is a prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1929 and rising 16–17 stories depending on sources. Originally designed by Sugarman & Berger as a residential hotel, the building was later converted to co-op and retains classic prewar architecture: beamed ceilings, crown and picture moldings, arched doorways and hardwood floors throughout many residences. The property is composed primarily of multi-bedroom apartments (notably sizable two- and three-bedroom plans and a number of four-bedroom configurations via combinations), several with private terraces or open city and river views. Interiors commonly feature formal entry foyers, separate dining rooms, den spaces, eat-in kitchens and built-in cabinetry; some units include wet bars, wood-burning fireplaces and renovated chef’s kitchens with high-end appliances. Shared amenities emphasize staffed service and practical conveniences: a full-time elevator operator/lobby attendant, live-in resident manager, central laundry, bike rooms, common trunk storage and a roof deck. Building policies permit in-unit washers/dryers and up to 75% financing; pets are allowed with board approval (restrictions on size/number apply), while sublets and pied-à-terres are limited or prohibited. Located on tree-lined East 86th Street, the co-op sits steps from Carl Schurz Park, multiple subway lines (Q, 4/5/6), crosstown buses, neighborhood markets and riverside promenades, offering a blend of prewar character and Upper East Side convenience.
