About This Property
Extraordinary Light, Expansive Views, and Flexible Living at the Channel Club
Step into this beautifully bright and spacious one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence featuring a private balcony and a versatile layout that offers the flexibility of a second sleeping area, all at the sought-after Channel Club.
Oversized windows wrap around the living spaces, filling the apartment with natural light and showcasing sweeping views of the East River, open sky, and cityscape. The generously proportioned living room offers a wonderful sense of openness, with curved windows that create a striking architectural feature and lead to a private balcony—an inviting spot to enjoy your morning coffee, take in the views, or simply watch the city go by.
Just off the living room, a spacious dining alcove provides exceptional flexibility. Comfortable as a dining area, home office, or den, this space can also accommodate a wall-mounted Murphy bed, creating an additional sleeping area without the need for major construction. Similar Murphy bed installations have been completed in other apartments within the building, demonstrating how this versatile space can serve multiple purposes.
The oversized primary bedroom offers generous proportions, excellent closet space, and room to incorporate additional storage if desired. An en-suite bathroom provides privacy and convenience, while a separate powder room is an especially welcome feature for guests.
The Channel Club is a full-service condominium known for its attentive doorman service and an appealing array of amenities, including a health club, swimming pool, sauna, children's playroom, and landscaped outdoor garden. Residents also enjoy the convenience of an on-site fitness center, a particularly welcome feature for those seeking an effortless daily routine. The building is pet-friendly and offers a comfortable, service-oriented residential experience.
Ideally situated on the Upper East Side, 455 East 86th Street places Carl Schurz Park and the East River waterfront within easy reach, along with neighborhood restaurants, cafés, and everyday conveniences. Access to the FDR Drive is especially convenient, while nearby Q train service and the 4, 5, and 6 subway lines provide connections throughout Manhattan.
With its remarkable river views, abundant natural light, private outdoor space, flexible layout, and full-service amenities, Residence 15C offers a compelling combination of comfort, style, and city living.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
Curved windows in the living room lead out to a private balcony at 455 East 86th Street 15C, and the curve gives the room a shape you don't often see. The listing puts the views at the center of the home, with the East River, open sky and cityscape all named, and city, neighborhood, panoramic and skyline views listed as home features. A balcony off the main room means you can step outside to take in that view without leaving the apartment.
The dining alcove off the living room is where the layout does the most work. It can be a dining area, a home office or a den, and it can take a wall-mounted Murphy bed, which adds a second sleeping area without major construction. In a one-bedroom, that's useful. A guest gets a real place to sleep, and the primary bedroom stays a bedroom.
The primary bedroom is oversized, with excellent closet space and room to add storage if you want it. An en-suite bath is off the bedroom, and a separate powder room is there for guests. The home has hardwood floors, and the kitchen includes a dishwasher, which is one less thing to handle after dinner.
Full service.
The listing calls this a full-service condominium with an attentive doorman service and concierge.
