Description

Located on a prime and charming tree lined, Upper East Side block, this pre-war one bedroom with huge roof deck has it all! The spacious living room features soaring ceilings, exposed brick and a decorative fireplace in addition to a bonus sleeping/storage loft. The well-proportioned bedroom can accommodate a queen size bed, includes a generous closet and double exposures through three windows! The staircase leads to the loft and a gracious windowed home office with customized storage before leading to the massive semi-private outdoor space (measuring 48? long) with steeple and skyline views of the neighborhood. Hard wood floors and incredible closet and storage space throughout make this home an incredible investment. Just half a block from Whole Foods and moments from the 2nd Avenue Q train (86th Street) and 4,5,6 train at 86th street and Lexington. A short distance from Central Park, Carl Schurz Park and an abundance of restaurants and prime retail. 227 East 87th Street is a financially sound and beautifully maintained boutique walk-up cooperative including recently renovated hallways, part-time superintendent and card operated laundry room. Maintenance represents the charges for the apartment and the roof deck and is 80% tax deductible. Sorry, no pets. Apartment has been virtually staged.

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.
