Bring your designer to this highly sought after pre-war, luxury co-op on a Park Block near museums, galleries and shops at the foot of Carnegie Hill. A flexible and fabulous layout awaits in this 2 bed, 2 bath corner apartment, with a large entry Foyer/Gallery and formal Dining room, in an elegant lobbied building with a 24 hour doorman, a concierge and attentive staff AND semi-private elevator banks with only 3 units sharing passenger elevator AND freight elevator. 6E has an open-floorplan feel, centered on the Foyer/Gallery. Reconfigured as a split layout, this unique E line splits the Bedrooms by moving the Dining room to the 2nd bedroom and opening up with mirrored french doors to the Foyer/Gallery. The previous large dining room was used as a large corner Library/Den or 2nd Bedroom. The living room is bright and has a stone fireplace mantel and fireplace. This former designer's home has great touches, with mirrored French Doors and walls heighten the light , original tubs and fixtures and Herringbone Wood Floors in the large rooms. 25 E 86th sits one block from Central Park on the corner of Madison, and has a full run of shops on the Ground Level, like Brooks Brothers, Alice & Olivia, Alex Mills, florists and eyewear stores.
