Tucked on a quiet Upper East Side block, Apt. 1R is a 2 bedroom + den, 2 bathroom duplex with a genuine townhouse feel and a rare private two-tier garden. Prewar character—exposed brick, fireplace, built-ins, and hardwood floors—meets easy indoor-outdoor living, with French doors drawing the eye straight to the greenery as you enter.
The upper floor functions as a true sleeping wing: a serene primary bedroom with walk-in closet, two windows, and Friedrich through-the-wall A/C sits alongside a flexible den/recreation area, a second bedroom, and a full bath finished with tiled walls, tub, and fixtures. Thoughtful storage keeps this level calm and clutter-free.
Downstairs, the living/dining area is anchored by a classic brick fireplace and custom shelving. The open marble kitchen features stainless-steel appliances including a gas range, dishwasher, and sink disposal. A second full bath offers a rainfall shower and sleek, modern fixtures. Additional conveniences include a welcoming foyer and a storage room at the lower entry.
Your garden lives like two distinct outdoor rooms: a lower decked terrace for dining and lounging, separated by a planting strip from an upper stone-paved patio wrapped in mature greenery—ideal for morning coffee, evening gatherings, and four-season container gardening.
432 East 85th Street is an intimate, self-managed prewar walk-up co-op with laundry in the building and an intercom system. Washer/dryers in unit are allowed with board approval. Pied-à-terre and co-purchasing are permitted; no gifting and no guarantors. Only cats allowed. Convenient to neighborhood dining, markets, and multiple subway options, including the Q and 4/5/6 lines.
