Why It’s So Popular

It’s 11/11: Make a wish! Did you wish for a new home with two big bedrooms, windows in nearly every room, and generous, spa-like bathrooms? Well, you’re in luck. 519 East 86th Street #1A — a beautiful Yorkville 2-bedroom — has all that and so, so much more. 

The magic begins immediately as you walk in the front door and step into the extra-large foyer space, which is outfitted with whimsical wallpaper. The blue hues and organic patterning are a soothing balm to the nervous system. Even better, the foyer has enough space for multiple pieces of furniture: Go ahead and set up a storage bench, a coat tree, or even a work-from-home desk. 

Through an arched doorway lies a sunken living room that’s got elegant chair rails on the wall and gleaming hardwood underfoot. A double exposure is set between two big built-ins that are perfect for storing books, art, and other tchotchkes. This remarkable room has enough space to accommodate a sectional couch, multiple chairs, and a 4-person dining table.

On the other side of the foyer lies the kitchen, which benefits from a dishwasher and a sunny window. The U-shaped countertops maximize prep space, and there’s plenty of space to store your pots and pans in the chic gray double decker cabinets. A bonus open shelf situated above the deep sink provides a space to arrange your cookbook collection, display your favorite dishes, or simply show off a fresh bouquet. 

The home’s two bedrooms boast corner windows and refined wood floors. They also both have en-suite bathrooms, a rare NYC luxury. The bathroom off the primary bedroom includes a soaking tub encased in luxurious marble tiles. Don’t discount the smaller bathroom, though. It’s got retro-inspired tiling and a funky light fixture. 

519 East 86th Street #1A is located on the first floor, guaranteeing that move-in will be painless. Just steps away from cute Carl Schurz Park and accessed from the Q/4/5/6 trains and the M86 crosstown bus, this home provides the very best of Upper East Side living.
