Property Description for 170 East 87th Street, E-6ABC
A one-of-a-kind corner duplex remarkably house-like both in ambiance and size, this gut-renovated 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom condo is a portrait of contemporary luxury and charm. Features of this palatial, 3,480 sq. ft. home include gorgeous hardwood floors, huge windows with northern and eastern exposure, a pair of spacious balconies, a soaring 20-ft ceiling in the formal living room, two staircases with wrought-iron balusters, separate entrances for each level, an abundance of closet space, and an in-home laundry room with a washer/dryer.
Beyond an inviting entryway foyer adorned with a pair of large coat closets and a powder room, the lower level of the home flows into an expansive, double-height living area saturated with natural light. The space—perfect for entertaining—possesses an elegant bar and has access to a rare, double-height balcony. The formal living room leads into a bright family room, dining area, and semi-open galley-style kitchen. The all-white kitchen is equipped with an eat-in island, white lacquer cabinetry, two pantries, sleek countertops and backsplashes, and a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances.
The master suite boasts a pair of walk-in closets, access to a north-facing balcony, and a pristine en-suite bathroom with a step-in shower and a separate soaking tub. The second and third bedrooms each have a trio of closets and private en-suite bathrooms. The second bedroom also has balcony access.
The upper level of the home contains a large den as well as a fourth bedroom/study. Each space has access to a full bathroom and overlooks the formal living room, but the bedroom has the additional benefit of a massive walk-in closet.
One of the most sought-after buildings in the city, The Gotham is a full-service condominium nestled less than four blocks from Central Park and Museum Mile. The building is surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and shops, and is less than 2 minutes from Whole Foods and Fairway. Amenities include a state-of-the-art health club with free classes, a huge 80-ft indoor pool, a full-size sauna, a children’s playroom and outdoor playground, a party room equipped with a kitchen, and a common terrace. Nearby subway lines include the 4/5/6/N/Q. Pets are welcome.

Upper East Side | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
