Built in 1926, 25 East 86th Street is a prewar co-op occupying a full block frontage on Madison Avenue in the Carnegie Hill section of the Upper East Side. The 15 story dark brown brick building contains 103 apartments and was converted to cooperative ownership in 1967, undergoing a major façade restoration in 1999. Residents enter through an impressive vaulted ceiling lobby staffed by a 24 hour doorman and concierge, with additional services including a live-in superintendent, bike room, laundry facilities, and private storage.
Apartments showcase classic prewar details including herringbone oak floors, beamed ceilings, and wood burning fireplaces. Some units feature semi private elevator landings, gracious foyers, formal dining rooms, and staff rooms or maid's quarters. Many apartments have been thoughtfully renovated with modern kitchens and bathrooms while preserving original architectural elements. Several units have terraces, and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted throughout the building.
Located at the corner of Madison Avenue and 86th Street, the building sits just one block from Central Park and Fifth Avenue. The location provides easy access to Museum Mile institutions like the Metropolitan Museum, Guggenheim, and Neue Galerie, while the 86th Street express subway station offers convenient transportation. The building maintains white glove service standards while allowing pets, pied-à-terre ownership, and up to 50% financing, making it a sought after address in one of Manhattan's most culturally rich neighborhoods.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
