4 E 88TH Street #5A

An incredibly rare Classic 7 room prewar apartment is now available at 4 East 88th Street. Built in 1922, 4 East 88th Street is a beautiful prewar Georgian cooperative located just steps east from Central Park. With only 4 apartments on this floor this residence enjoys privacy. You enter into a lovely foyer that opens to a rather large living room. This room faces north onto 88th Street and enjoys lovely views of the Guggenheim Museum and the stately townhouses across the street. A wood-burning fireplace graces one wall and provides a focal point for comfortable social gatherings. The dining room has been opened to the living room creating a large expansive space that flows from one room into the other; it is a perfect layout for entertaining on a grand scale. Custom built-ins provide ample storage for everything you need for that purpose. The kitchen has been enlarged by combining a maid's room into the original kitchen to make it big and square. It easily accommodates a large table making this a true eat-in kitchen. The half bath has been converted to house a full-size stackable washer / dryer and provides additional storage. There are 3 bedrooms each nicely outfitted with custom closets and built-ins. The primary bedroom faces south and gets lots of light and is very quiet. The windowed master bath is ensuite. The second bedroom is on a corner and you have views through to Central Park. This room shares a bathroom with the den which can also serve as a proper third bedroom. This home is filled with all of the charm and elegance that one expects from a building built during this era. Additional finishes include beautiful oak flooring and a ceiling height that reaches to 9' 4”. This 9-story building with 35 units has a full-time doorman and live-in Superintendent. Additional amenities include a bike room, laundry room, roof deck and a common storage room. The building is pet friendly and welcomes both dogs and cats. Up to 65% financing is permitted and there is a 2% flip tax payable by the Seller. The cooperative allows subletting on a case-by-case basis and pied a terre ownership. For the discerning buyer that values location right off Central Park in an immaculately maintained building look no further.
