Description

Welcome to Penthouse 12L, a wonderfully spacious, converted 2 bedroom, 1 bath home at 235 East 87th Street. Rarely will you find an apartment with southern city views, a 32 foot living room, two generously sized bedrooms (each with their own heating/cooling systems), strip hardwood floors, crown moldings AND three walk-in closets! The kitchen features granite counters, custom cabinetry to the ceiling and stainless steel appliances. A timeless and classic bathroom renovation features wainscoting, subway tiles, new vanity and updated lighting. Best of all, the maintenance includes common storage, bike storage and there is no flip tax! The Plymouth House is a five star full-service cooperative located on a quaint tree lined street. Strollers, carriages and wheelchairs can easily access the entrance via a side ramp. Shareholders enjoy sought after amenities such as a 24-hour doorman, live in super, central a/c, personal storage, bike storage, laundry room, furnished and planted roof deck and onsite garage accessible through the building. Both elevators were fully replaced within the last two years. Pets are welcome; dogs up to 40 lbs. and cats. Located only one block from the new Q/2nd Avenue Subway station at 86th Street and two blocks from the 4,5,6 Subway lines; the M86 crosstown bus is also one block away. It does not get any more convenient than having Whole Foods right on your block, in addition to Fairway, top rated restaurants, shopping and transportation right outside your doorstep. Co-purchasing is okay if both parties reside in the apartment. Pied-a-terres, gifting, and guarantors are not 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.
