Description

Exciting opportunity to own a super charming, well-priced true 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with a PRIVATE TERRACE on the Upper East Side. Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by beautiful solid oak hardwood floors and a spacious living and dining room overlooking the building’s gated courtyard. Right off the living room, you can step outside to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine on your private terrace. The kitchen is fully functional, offering plenty of cabinet space and brand-new quartz countertops with bar seating. The bathroom was just updated and is in perfect working order while still retaining its pre-war charm. Both bedrooms face south and receive tremendous light. They are large enough to accommodate king-sized beds with plenty of extra room for bedside tables and additional furniture. In total, there are four closets offering more storage than you’ll need. Additionally, there’s through-the-wall AC in every room, and the apartment includes its own private storage unit, which is included with the sale. 439 East 88th Street is a well-run boutique co-op located on a beautiful tree-lined street on the Upper East Side. Amenities include key-locked elevator, superintendent, private storage, bike room, courtyard, and laundry room. Ideally located near Carl Schurz Park, Asphalt Green, and Central Park, the location cannot be beaten. There are several supermarkets, including Whole Foods, within a two-block radius, as well as many restaurants, bakeries, and café options within walking distance. Transportation is easily accessible with the Q, 4, 5, 6 trains, the new East River Ferry on 90th Street, and the cross-town bus on 86th Street. Pets are welcome! Guarantors, gifting, and co-purchasing are permitted.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
