Renovate this lovely home OR NOT, this expansive convertible three bedroom just has a special quality that you will want to make your own! Perhaps it is the expansive corner living room to dining room (convertible 3rd bedroom as shown in the alternate floor plan), aglow with southern light that affords South, West and North exposures. Perhaps it is the original parquet floors that have just been skimmed and polished. Off the dining room is an authentically charming windowed eat-in kitchen with breakfast area. The sunny south facing master bedroom is spacious and bright with a walk-in closet and sizable second double closet, and a white tiled en-suite bathroom.  A similar hall bath serves as powder room and the bright North facing second bedroom affords high floor views over townhomes to the east river for a lovely river view. The bedroom hallway has a convenient linen closet. All rooms throughout have through-wall air conditioning already in place. The home has been skim coated and painted. 10F is in pristine condition.  525 East 86th street is across the street from Carl Schurz Park and is a 138 unit cooperative that is beautifully maintained by an expert resident manager. Only a short walk to the Q train, the building has a very nice lobby manned by a friendly 24hr staff, boasts an up to date exercise facility, bike room, parking garage and the Resident Manager lives on site. Many convenient neighborhood amenities abound! I love this apartment and so will you!
