This $4,200 Upper East Side three-bedroom, is located at 344 East 85th Street, between First and Second avenues. The building is about two blocks away from the new Upper East Side Fairway, a block away from the commercial epicenter that is 86th street, and just about five blocks from the 4, 5 and 6 train station at 86th and Lexington.

The building is six stories and has an elevator.
