5 West 86th Street offers Manhattanites a number of sophisticated design elements and luxury pre-war elements. The building itself is a mid-story building of 20 floors with 74 apartments within, which so many of these types of buildings tend to approximate. This mix of contemporary meets traditional has become very popular in recent times. These apartments have hardwood flooring throughout, as well as oversized windows. These windows allow for striking views of the neighborhood and city depending on their placement in each room.
The units also feature high ceilings to further give residents that all-important sensation of open space. The more modern features are found in the modern kitchen and bathroom instillations in each apartment. The kitchens are equipped with brand name, newly purchased appliances and granite countertops. They also feature wooden cabinetry. The marble bathrooms have been newly remodeled and feature deep tubs.
There are a few choice amenities offered at 5 West 86th Street. These include a laundry area, elevators, a doorman, and an attended lobby. These amenities are typically seen in many New York apartments of this particular size. Just as important with regard to the building’s amenities is its proximity to a variety of opportunities of all kinds. The upper West side is known for its prime location near Central Park. The building is also just a short walk from a number of fine dining establishments, museums, and shopping. Markets such as the well-known Zabar’s and Fairway are not far away. Unique small vegetarian restaurants and bakeries creating new fashionable eatables to enjoy can be discovered all around. The area has a very earthy yet eclectic sensibility.
