Dream of a hammock in your own private garden, plus an ideal apartment in Manhattan! Stroll one block east to an amazing east river park, admire the swooping sea gulls over the gleaming blue water trails, then wave to the mayor at Gracie mansion; tai-chi along the river esplanade to the Wall Street ferry; or head west to Museum Mile and Central Park; stop by the 92Y for a swim or take the Q-subway to Broadway. The beauty of Manhattan is at your doorstep (why confine yourself to a residence with fabricated amenities). Your pet-friendly apartment is completely rebuilt to a high-end condo finish and features a spacious 540 sf private terrace. Carefully planned with no expense spared, it features four-inch white-oak floors, ambient lighting, bosch washer/dryer, ample closet space, and a caringly restored brick-and-stone wall. The kitchen offers custom-built cabinets with fisher-paykel appliances. The bath includes hansgrohe fixtures that last a lifetime. You will spend little time indoors, as the terrace has three virtual rooms – a spacious living and dining area to welcome two dozen friends, plus a lounge with a hammock! 435 East 85th Street is a five-story boutique co-op building in a serene location -- yet close to the energizing pulse of life in Manhattan.
