Description

Discover your new home in Yorkville. This spacious, oversized studio is perfectly situated on a beautiful tree-lined street close to all the neighborhood has to offer. The apartment's separate, eat-in kitchen has been recently remodeled with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances, making it a great space to cook and gather. You'll love the beautiful hardwood floors, large closets, and a newly updated bathroom. 242 East 87th Street is a pre-war Art Deco co-op building featuring a virtual doorman, live-in super, elevator, laundry room, bike room, storage, and shared backyard. Living here means incredible convenience, with the Q train and Whole Foods just one block away. You'll also have easy access to the 4, 5, and 6 trains, and the vibrant dining and nightlife of 2nd Avenue will be right at your fingertips. The co-op is very flexible, allowing for guarantors, co-purchasers, gifting, and pied-à-terre at the boards discretion. It's a pet-friendly building, and you can even sublet after two years with board approval. There is a capital assessment of $83.42 through December 31, 2025.

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.
