Gut renovated by the current owners, Apartment 5C boasts the highest quality contemporary finishes throughout, yet maintains its coveted prewar character with its generous proportions, high beamed ceilings, wood burning fireplace, and abundance of closets. Originally a classic 7 with 3 bedrooms, the floorplan has been reconfigured for gracious modern living.
One enters this beautiful home into the large foyer, off of which is a powder room for guests. The expansive living room faces south onto sunny, tree-lined 85th Street and overlooks the attractive spire of Park Avenue Christian/Apostles Church. The living room was opened to what was originally an adjacent bedroom/library, creating an expansive space for both formal and informal entertaining and living.
A large dining room easily seats 14+ and is open to the windowed chef’s kitchen, which features top-of-the-line appliances including a lacquer paneled SubZero fridge, Miele dishwasher, suite of Wolf appliances, Calcutta gold marble countertops, lacquer and wood custom cabinetry and a massive island and breakfast bar.
The original maid’s room was incorporated into the footprint of the kitchen to create a gracious walk-in laundry/utility room made from the same luxurious materials as the kitchen, with an Electrolux vented washer and dryer.
The king-sized primary bedroom boasts three south-facing windows, an enormous walk-in closet, and a windowed ensuite bathroom with a glass-encased shower. A second bedroom, currently being used as an office, with double closets, and a full hallway windowed bath complete the bedroom wing.
Custom built-ins and millwork throughout, motorized shades, 2-zone central air, new windowpanes, and a dedicated storage unit complete this elegant home.
Built in 1925, 45 East 85th Street is an immaculately kept co-op with a full staff including a live-in resident manager, doormen, handymen, and porter, as well as a gym and a landscaped garden. Just a block and a half from Central Park, the building is ideally located and is moments to the best dining, shopping, cultural attractions, and schools Manhattan has to offer.
50% financing, pied-a-terres, and pets are permitted. 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
There is a monthly assessment of $653.04 until December 2024 (for capital improvements: lobby, electrical upgrade and sidewalk).
