25 East 86th St. #6B

Immaculate ORIGINAL PREWAR CONDITION classic 7-room estate, available for the first time in 71 years. Original kitchen and 3 original baths need total gut-renovation, including all new plumbing and electrical risers, new branch lines and shut-off valves. Electric panel, wiring behind walls, and receptacles need to be brought up to current code. Pristine herringbone and oak strip hardwood floors, which had been protected by wall-to-wall carpeting for decades, have been newly refinished to their original glory. Vented washer/dryer in unit OK. Window A/Cs can be replaced with either Central Air or Thru-Wall HVACs. Ideal buyer is an eager renovator with ample liquidity to do high-quality upgrades, and sufficient income to carry two homes during the anticipated year of design/construction. Gorgeous sun-blasted rooms, beautiful bones, and gracious proportions call for your high-quality custom finishes. Well-managed, fiscally-sound building, plus income from Brooks Brothers lease, keep monthly maintenance remarkably low. White-glove, full-service building with doorman, concierge and live-in Resident Manager. Pied-a-terre permitted, but this happy home deserves to be YOUR primary residence for the next 71 years!!!
