Description

Welcome home to Apartment 5N at 309 East 87th, which is a spacious, TRUE TWO BEDROOM corner apartment, on a quiet tree-lined street just steps from all that the Upper East Side has to offer. This sunny apartment has a substantial amount of closet space, hardwood floors, open views, renovated kitchen, and a dining area that can accommodate a large table.

The beautiful kitchen was recently fully updated with new floors, Caesarstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and brand new cabinets offering plenty of storage. The primary bedroom with northern and eastern exposures is so large that it is currently split into two rooms, each having its own closet and window! This can be easily changed back to a huge primary instead if you prefer. The second bedroom, facing east, offers a large closet plus crafty built-ins for even more storage.

309 East 87th Street is a full-service coop with 24-hour doormen, a live-in super, a newly renovated lobby, and a laundry room on the first floor (not basement). The building is conveniently located near Whole Foods, Fairway, Carl Schurz Park, Asphalt Green, and fine restaurants such as Antonucci, Elio's, Toloache and Jacques Brasserie. Additionally, this building is accessible to public transportation including the Q subway line, the 4/5/6 trains and several bus lines. The building has a parking garage with convenient lobby access, storage and bike rooms. The pet-friendly co-op also offers a recently furnished rear courtyard. Pied-a-terres, gifts, co-purchasers, and guarantors are permitted. Financing up to 80 percent permitted.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
