Property Details
Description
Located on a peaceful tree-lined block, this thoughtfully renovated home offers windows in every room, blending prewar charm with modern comfort. Original details like herringbone hardwood floors, high ceilings, moldings, and a cedar closet add warmth and character throughout. A proper entry foyer opens into a spacious south-facing living room with plenty of room for entertaining, dining, or working from home. The windowed eat-in kitchen is unusually large, featuring stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and the option to open it to the living room for a more open layout. The king-size bedroom enjoys both southern and northern exposures and offers generous space for additional furniture. Just outside the bedroom, the windowed bathroom has been tastefully renovated and sits across from a linen closet. 305 East 88th Street is an intimate and well-maintained elevator building with a video intercom, live-in superintendent who accepts packages, two porters, a children’s playroom, a beautifully landscaped courtyard garden, bike room, laundry room, and storage rooms. Pets, pied-à-terres, and parents purchasing for children are welcome, as is 80% financing. The building has excellent financials and NO FLIP TAX. Ideally located between Carl Schurz Park and Central Park, the building offers easy access to the Q and 4/5/6 trains, the M86 crosstown bus, and the M15 SBS. Nearby amenities include Fairway, Whole Foods, and some of the best dining and shopping the Upper East Side has to offer.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
