225 E 86th St APT 204, New York, NY 10028

Welcome to your urban oasis at 225 East 86th Street, Unit 204 — located in the distinguished boutique building, The Buckingham East Condominium, a full-service, pet-friendly residence with just 60 homes in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This unique one-bedroom, one-bath triplex is a true retreat, and boasts an expansive 430 square-foot private terrace — an exceptional indoor-outdoor opportunity in the heart of the UES. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by newly refinished hardwood floors throughout. The oversized living room, facing north and measuring approximately 15 × 17 ft, is drenched in natural light thanks to its oversized windows and generous ceiling heights. Directly off the living room is a bright sunroom — perfect for dining, a home office or lounge — which opens to the magnificent terrace, inviting seamless transitions from interior comfort to open-air living. The open/contemporary kitchen is fully renovated and thoughtfully appointed with top-tier appliances and finishes: a Thermador gas stove, Thermador dishwasher, KitchenAid fridge-freezer, under-cabinet Phillips microwave, Faber hooded vent, Kohler apron-style sink with disposal, and sleek Silestone “Eternal Marquina” quartz countertops cascading into a peninsula for casual dining (space for 2-3 bar stools). Custom cabinetry with soft-close doors, a full-size pantry, utility closet and under-cabinet LED lighting complete this sophisticated culinary space. Ascend to the upper floor to find the oversized north-facing bedroom (approx. 11 × 15 ft) easily accommodating a king-size bed plus a workspace or additional furniture. A custom Container Store ELFA closet system with sliding doors brings thoughtful organization and style. The luxe bathroom features radiant heated marble flooring, a wall-mounted Kohler toilet, full-size deep‐soak Kohler bathtub with glass sliding door, a Robern extra-deep medicine cabinet with integrated lighting, and a large in‐wall storage niche. No expense was spared in this renovation: new marble flooring in the sunroom with radiant heat, recessed lighting throughout, energy-efficient LED fixtures, a split AC system, Lutron smart switches (phone-controlled) and electrical outlets with USB-B sockets — all designed for modern, comfortable living. The Buckingham East (built 1981; 15 stories, 60 units) offers full-service luxury: 24-hour doorman, full-time superintendent, laundry facilities, furnished rooftop deck, bike room and private storage. Situated just steps from fine dining, boutique shopping, and supermarkets (Whole Foods & Fairway), and just minutes’ walk to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Central Park — with effortless access to the 4/5/6 and Q trains and downtown/crosstown SBS buses — this is premium Upper East Side living. Rarely does a home combine townhouse-esque scale, an enormous private terrace, and renovation this complete — it truly is a standout opportunity.
