515 E 85Th St

A midcentury, 13-story red-brick cooperative completed in 1962 and converted to co-op ownership in 1980, this boutique residential building contains 41 units ranging from one- to three-bedroom layouts. The façade and massing reflect postwar townhouse-scale sensibilities rather than a glass tower; interiors commonly feature traditional finishes such as crown molding and hardwood floors alongside practical kitchen upgrades. Many apartments offer den or formal dining spaces, generous closets including walk-ins and his-and-hers closets, built-ins and pantry storage; several units have private outdoor spaces or balconies and a few feature large terraces with river or city views. Common areas include a full-time 24-hour doorman, elevator service, central laundry, bike room, on-site live-in super, and rentable private storage and garage parking (wait list applies). The building is pet-friendly with pied-à-terres, subletting and co-purchasing permitted subject to board approval and allows up to 75% financing. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block of the Upper East Side near Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, the property benefits from nearby transit (2nd Avenue subway, Lexington Avenue lines, crosstown buses and ferry access) and immediate access to neighborhood shops, parks and recreational facilities.
