NO BOARD APPROVAL - CONDOMINIUM RULES - INVESTOR FRIENDLY
This expansive five-bedroom residence is attractively priced for today's market and offers exceptional value. Bring your architect or contractor to reimagine and customize a true dream home in the sky.
Perched on the 27th floor and spanning approximately 2,750 +/- square feet, this one-of-a-kind home is the largest residence currently offered in the building. Oversized windows frame sweeping city and river views from three exposures-north, east, and south-filling the home with natural light throughout the day.
The residence features a gourmet eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking gas range and microwave, and Miele dishwasher. Additional highlights include marble bathrooms, abundant closet and storage space with California Closets, custom built-ins, crown moldings, approximately 9-foot ceilings, and an in-unit washer/dryer. With only three residences per floor, privacy and exclusivity are paramount.
Located at The America, one of the Upper East Side's premier full-service luxury condominiums, residents enjoy an exceptional suite of amenities including a newly renovated fitness center, dry sauna, party room, full-time doorman and concierge, private garage, bike storage, and Verizon Fios.
Ideally positioned between Central Park and Carl Schurz Park, this coveted Upper East Side location offers immediate access to premier shopping, dining, transportation, and top private and public schools. Nearby conveniences include the Second Avenue Q subway, 4/5/6 trains, Whole Foods, Fairway, Equinox, the 92nd Street Y, Asphalt Green, and Museum Mile, with easy access to the FDR Drive.
Additional ownership benefits include: unlimited subletting from day one, purchase permitted in an LLC or trust, no mortgage recording tax, up to 80% financing allowed, and pet-friendly policies. Not a land lease - the building owns both the land and commercial space.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
Only three residences share each floor at 300 East 85th Street, and this five-bedroom, four-bath home takes up the 27th. Its windows face north, east and south, so city and river views reach the apartment from more than one side.
The eat-in kitchen has custom cabinetry and granite countertops, with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Viking gas range and microwave, and a Miele dishwasher. For a home with five bedrooms, that's the equipment you'll use for everyday cooking and for hosting, and the dishwasher takes care of cleanup after a long dinner.
The bathrooms are finished in marble. Closets are fitted by California Closets, and the rooms have custom built-ins and crown moldings. An in-unit washer and dryer means laundry doesn't require leaving the apartment, which matters more in a home this size than it sounds.
Pets are allowed.
The building has an elevator, a full-time doorman and concierge, a newly renovated fitness center, a dry sauna, a party room, a private garage and bike storage. The doorman handles deliveries and guests, and the elevator makes moving furniture and groceries up to the 27th floor much easier, which is worth knowing if you're bringing in large pieces.
Fairway is about 2 minutes away on foot, Whole Foods about 5 minutes, and the Q train at 86th Street about 2 minutes. Carl Schurz Park is about 11 minutes on foot, and the Guggenheim about 14, so the home sits between Central Park and the park along the East River.
