156 East 85th Street is a five story brick pre-war rental building completed in 1910, with 24 apartments in Carnegie Hill. Its most distinctive layout is a duplex, which places living space across two levels rather than following the building's more conventional apartment organization.
The apartments have a clear pre-war framework, with hardwood floors and generous closet space recurring across the available layouts. Renovated homes are described as spacious and bright, while separate kitchens, high ceilings, marble tile bathrooms, microwaves, and dishwashers appear among the apartment features.
Building amenities are not specified, but the property has a notable key policy: the building key is non-copyable and may be borrowed under a deposit arrangement. Rental terms accommodate shares, guarantors, corporate leases, diplomats, and leases of 12 months or less, with pets considered case by case and small dogs permitted.
The building occupies a central Carnegie Hill location on East 85th Street, about a five minute walk from major crosstown buses and the Lexington Avenue subway corridor. Applications require employment and financial documentation, landlord references, and a credit check, and the property has its own lease rider.
