Welcome to Unit 2AB at 400 East 85th Street—a sprawling, one-of-a-kind residence that redefines Upper East Side living. By thoughtfully combining an A-line one-bedroom and a B-line studio, this home offers a footprint significantly larger than standard two-bedroom units in the building, providing a sense of scale and flow that is rare to find.

Stepping inside, you are greeted by an expansive living area bathed in morning light from the east. The renovated kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring sleek stone countertops and premium stainless steel appliances including fridge with ice maker. An intelligent extension of the kitchen sits opposite the dining area, offering a wine fridge and additional custom storage. Just beyond the living room lies the crown jewel of the home: a private, almost 250-square-foot garden terrace. This lush outdoor sanctuary is the ultimate setting for al fresco dining or a quiet morning coffee as the seasons change.

The primary wing is a true retreat, offering impressive proportions and direct access to the garden. It features a spa-like ensuite bathroom finished in granite and marble with a glass-enclosed shower. The primary suite also boasts a walk-in closet of legendary proportions—complete with closets within the closet—offering storage space that must be seen to be believed. Tucked discreetly within this wing is a dedicated laundry room, a rare luxury in the building, equipped with a stackable Whirlpool washer/dryer and extensive custom cabinetry. The second bedroom is equally well-appointed, featuring custom closets and elegant lighting.

400 East 85th Street is a premier cooperative known for its exceptionally low maintenance and white-glove service, including a full-time doorman and a live-in resident manager. Residents enjoy a wealth of amenities: a fitness center, a modern meeting room with Wi-Fi, a newly renovated common laundry room, storage, bike storage, and garage. The building also benefits from bulk-rated electricity, keeping monthly costs remarkably low.

Perfectly positioned near the Q, 4, 5, and 6 trains and multiple bus lines, the location offers seamless access to the best of Manhattan. With Carl Schurz Park, Whole Foods, Fairway, and a vibrant array of cafes and fine dining just moments away, this is a sophisticated place to call home.
Pet-friendly and welcoming, the building allows subletting three out of every five years and has no flip tax.
