425 East 86th St. #4A

This prewar 5-room — the rarest of all Manhattan properties in terms of room count — is located in a small boutique building within the serene Carl Schurz area of the Upper East Side. A 2-bedroom with 2 full baths, this apartment offers a south-facing living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent formal dining room, facing north, is perfectly located for casual dinners at home or more formal entertaining. The master bedroom has its own windowed bath en suite. A well-proportioned second bedroom also has easy access to a bath, located within the bedroom wing yet accessible to guests. Nice light throughout the day, generous closet space, and prewar details including an arched doorway and beautiful hardwood floors complete this lovely property. Updates to the original kitchen and baths will turn this treasure into the perfect home. This elegant prewar co-op building — offering a full-time elevator operator, roof deck, and bike room — is convenient to restaurants, shopping (including the new Fairway), and Carl Schurz Park. Sorry, no dogs.
