## Property Overview

Welcome to your urban oasis at 225 East 86th Street, Unit 204 - located in the distinguished boutique building, The Buckingham East Condominium, a full-service, pet-friendly residence with just 60 homes in Manhattan's Upper East Side.

 This unique one-bedroom, one-bath triplex is a true retreat, and boasts an expansive 430 square-foot private terrace - an exceptional indoor-outdoor opportunity in the heart of the UES.

 Step inside and you'll be greeted by newly refinished hardwood floors throughout. The oversized living room, facing north and measuring approximately 15 17 ft, is drenched in natural light thanks to its oversized windows and generous ceiling heights. Directly off the living room is a bright sunroom - perfect for dining, a home office or lounge - which opens to the magnificent terrace, inviting seamless transitions from interior comfort to open-air living.

 The open/contemporary kitchen is fully renovated and thoughtfully appointed with top-tier appliances and finishes: a Thermador gas stove, Thermador dishwasher, KitchenAid fridge-freezer, under-cabinet Phillips microwave, Faber hooded vent, Kohler apron-style sink with disposal, and sleek Silestone "Eternal Marquina" quartz countertops cascading into a peninsula for casual dining (space for 2-3 bar stools). Custom cabinetry with soft-close doors, a full-size pantry, utility closet and under-cabinet LED lighting complete this sophisticated culinary space.

 Ascend to the upper floor to find the oversized north-facing bedroom (approx. 11 15 ft) easily accommodating a king-size bed plus a workspace or additional furniture. A custom Container Store ELFA closet system with sliding doors brings thoughtful organization and style. The luxe bathroom features radiant heated marble flooring, a wall-mounted Kohler toilet, full-size deepsoak Kohler bathtub with glass sliding door, a Robern extra-deep medicine cabinet with integrated lighting, and a large inwall storage niche.

 No expense was spared in this renovation: new marble flooring in the sunroom with radiant heat, recessed lighting throughout, energy-efficient LED fixtures, a split AC system, Lutron smart switches (phone-controlled) and electrical outlets with USB-B sockets - all designed for modern, comfortable living.

 The Buckingham East (built 1981; 15 stories, 60 units) offers full-service luxury: 24-hour doorman, full-time superintendent, laundry facilities, furnished rooftop deck, bike room and private storage. Situated just steps from fine dining, boutique shopping, and supermarkets (Whole Foods & Fairway), and just minutes' walk to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Central Park - with effortless access to the 4/5/6 and Q trains and downtown/crosstown SBS buses - this is premium Upper East Side living.

 Rarely does a home combine townhouse-esque scale, an enormous private terrace, and renovation this complete - it truly is a standout opportunity.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at Buckingham East is $750,000, based on 11 sales between February 2022 and June 2025. This home is asking $875,000, $125,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $682,500 and $812,000.

- **Median closed price**: $750,000
- **Middle half**: $682,500 – $812,000
- **Based on**: 11 one-bedroom sales at Buckingham East
- **Period**: February 2022 – June 2025
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,018/ft²

Across the 7 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.4% of what it originally asked. 71% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 96.4% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 71% of 7 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 76 days (about 11 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 65 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 7 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.4% of what it originally asked. 71% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 76 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 6 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 65 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 6 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 11 one-bedroom sales at Buckingham East, February 2022 – June 2025. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot for sales at Buckingham East, 2017 to 2025. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year.

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $1,087/ft² | 6 |
| 2022 | $1,085/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2023 | $1,004/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2024 | $1,007/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2025 | $1,035/ft² | 3 (thin) |

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Where an abatement applies, Property Tax is the amount owed after it. Abatements are granted to the property and do not necessarily transfer to a new owner.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1015321005. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
