Building: 64 East 86th Street

An elegant pre-war building in a stellar location steps from Central Park, the Fifth Avenue Museums and the city’s finest schools, while also near public transportation, this building is truly a hidden gem of the Upper East Side. Built in 1916, most apartments have working fireplaces and the building contains many graciously designed combined apartments of eight and nine rooms, as well as those in the original configuration of six and four rooms. Known for its excellent service and its low maintenance, the building has a full-time doorman, live in superintendent, laundry facilities, and a bike room. A large individual storage locker comes with each apartment free of charge. The building earns additional income from professional office space it owns facing 86th Street. It is no wonder that apartments here so rarely become available. Pets are allowed, but no pied-a-terres. 65% financing permitted.
