Designed by Emery Roth in 1929, 544 East 86th Street is a 15 story Yorkville rental with approximately 31 apartments. Its prewar character is paired with an unusually private layout, with just two apartments per floor, while the building's position beside Carl Schurz Park gives it a direct relationship to the East River waterfront.
The building's most distinctive residence is a duplex penthouse occupying the top two floors and opening to two private terraces. The arrangement includes a sweeping internal staircase and outdoor space oriented toward Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion, and the East River, a configuration that is unusual within the building's predominantly floor through apartment plan.
Apartment layouts range from two to five bedrooms, with recurring prewar elements including formal dining rooms, eat in kitchens, hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and wood burning fireplaces. Many apartments have been renovated, and laundry is addressed either with in unit washers and dryers or dedicated hookups. Multiple exposures and views toward the park, river, bridge, and Queen Anne style row houses are also characteristic of the residences.
544 East 86th Street has a doorman and sits on a tree lined cross town block across from Carl Schurz Park. Gracie Mansion, the East River Esplanade, playgrounds, a dog run, pickleball courts, and the NYC Ferry landing are all close by, with the FDR Drive accessible from the waterfront.
