Description

Pre-war charm abounds in this well-appointed, turnkey 3 bedroom residence with separate home office, located on tree-lined East 88th Street. The split bedroom layout has two wings perfectly arranged around the central living spaces, overlooking the building's quiet, lush courtyard. On one side you have a gracious living room and master suite, complete with a custom walk-in closet, two additional closets, and a bathroom with a spacious windowed shower. On the other side of the central foyer is a contemporary and open concept chef's kitchen boasting Carrara marble countertops, a Bisazza tile backsplash, Bosch appliances, a 52 bottle wine fridge, and floor to ceiling cabinets. A large island and built-in banquette complete the eat-in kitchen for modern living and entertaining, with plentiful storage throughout. Through the kitchen are 2 more generous and bright bedrooms with trees through every window, as well as an oversized, refinished bathroom. Completing this wing are several closets and a dedicated home office with built-ins and pantry storage, offering tremendous flexibility for today's dynamic work/life needs. In addition to original details like inlay hardwood floors, picture moldings, and extra high ceilings, this home has been lovingly updated with features like recessed lighting, custom window coverings, new radiators with handcrafted covers, and new base moldings. 305 East 88th Street is an intimate and well-run elevator building with 42 apartments on 6 floors situated on a tranquil, tree-lined block. Services and amenities in this welcoming cooperative include an attentive live-in superintendent who accepts packages, two porters, a children's playroom, common courtyard garden, bike room, laundry room, and storage rooms (available for a nominal fee). Pets and pied--terres are welcome, as is 80% financing. The building is conveniently located close to public transportation, just 2 short blocks from the new Second Avenue subway and crosstown bus, and is situated between beautiful Carl Schurz Park and Central Park, with easy access to many fine restaurants, shops, and markets, including Fairway and Whole Foods.

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.
