Description

This turn-key, sun-filled residence is truly amazing. With low monthly maintenance and a highly desirable location, it's an ideal starter home or pied-à-terre. A convenient elevated parlor-level entrance welcomes you into this charming Carnegie Hill gem. The home features soaring 10-foot ceilings, elegant crown moldings, rich hardwood floors, and oversized south-facing windows that frame leafy views over East 88th Street. A gracious entry foyer easily accommodates a dining area and flows seamlessly into the living room. The renovated, windowed kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. The bathroom showcases a timeless Art Deco design, complete with classic tiled finishes, an arched shower, and Kohler fixtures. As an added bonus, the apartment includes a spacious 5x5 private storage cage within the building at no additional cost. Situated between Park and Lexington Avenues, 121 East 88th Street is a boutique pre-war co-op in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Residents enjoy close proximity to the 4/5/6 and Q subway lines, the M86 crosstown bus, and the M101/102/103 bus routes. Just moments from Central Park, Whole Foods, Fairway, and Westside Market-with a Target opening soon at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue. This pet-friendly co-op features a newly renovated lobby, laundry room, bike storage, and a part-time superintendent. Co-purchasing and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted.
