446 E 86Th St

A midcentury cooperative built in 1960, this 15-story, 28-unit property on the Upper East Side presents a compact, full-service residential environment. The building’s masonry façade and modest scale reflect postwar residential design rather than high-rise modernism. Residences are primarily one-bedroom and studio plans, many exhibiting traditional interior details such as crown moldings, parquet or hardwood floors, defined dining areas, and galley or windowed kitchens; several listings note deeper layouts with foyers, formal dining alcoves, or oversized closets. Common areas emphasize practical, day-to-day living: a staffed 24-hour doorman desk, live-in superintendent, renovated lobby, elevator service, laundry room with updated machines, bike storage and private storage rooms. Outdoor space is limited to small private terraces or balconies under 60 square feet for select units; there are no communal landscaped grounds. The coop permits pets, allows gifting and has a board-approved sublet policy (restricted cycles after initial ownership period). Recent building investments include façade repairs, elevator modernization and conversion of the heating system from oil to gas, with ongoing assessments tied to those upgrades. Located in Yorkville near Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade, the building offers immediate access to multiple subway lines, crosstown buses, grocery and retail options, and neighborhood fitness and cultural amenities.
