Description
Welcome home to this oversized one-bedroom gem in the heart of Carnegie Hill! Whether you're searching for the perfect starter apartment or looking to downsize without sacrificing storage, this thoughtfully designed home checks all the boxes. With six generously sized closets—including a walk-in—and built-in storage throughout, there’s a place for everything. The recently renovated kitchen is sleek and efficient, featuring a high-end Bertazzoni range that makes cooking a pleasure. The expansive living room easily accommodates both a full seating area and a dining table, creating a welcoming space for relaxing or entertaining guests. The king-sized bedroom is bathed in northern light and offers enough space for a desk, dressers, and more. A crisp, updated bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower and bonus storage for everyday essentials. Ideally located at 55 East 87th Street between Park and Madison Avenues, this home is nestled in the prestigious Carnegie Hill section of the Upper East Side—just one block from Central Park. Enjoy the charm of this peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood filled with historic brownstones, museums, cafés, and top-rated schools. Cultural gems like the 92nd Street Y, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Jewish Museum are all nearby. Commuting is a breeze with easy access to multiple subway lines: the 4, 5, and 6 trains at 86th Street/Lexington Avenue are close, and the Q train at 86th and Second Avenue offers rapid service to Midtown, Downtown, and Brooklyn. Bus lines along Madison and Fifth Avenues provide even more options for getting around town. The Parc is a full-service, white-glove co-op offering exceptional amenities, including a live-in resident manager, 24-hour doorman, handyman, and porters. Additional conveniences include a laundry room, bike storage, and pet-friendly policies (with board approval). Flexible ownership options include pied-à-terres, guarantors, and parents purchasing for adult working children. Subletting is permitted after one year of residency, for up to two years in total. Please note that there is an assessment of $233.86 that concludes in December 2025. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to live in a meticulously maintained building in one of Manhattan’s most desirable and connected neighborhoods!

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.
