Property Description for 250 East 87th Street, 26-HJ

This glamorous, triple mint apartment in the Newbury has been renovated to create a dramatic downtown feel on the Upper East Side. Apartment 26HJ, once two apartments, has been seamlessly combined by taking down every wall and reconstructing one of the most inviting and sun-filled residences on the Upper East Side. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has the clean and crisp feel of new construction. No detail has been overlooked, and no expense spared in utilizing the space of this sunny apartment with eye-popping views north and east.

The entry foyer leads to an oversized living/dining room with seemingly infinite views east, all the way past LaGuardia Airport and Citi Field. The balcony off this expansive entertaining space is perfect to watch the sunrise or sit down at the end of the day with a glass of wine. Off the living room is the open chef’s kitchen, which is outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero stainless steel fridge, Wolf gas stove, Wolf microwave drawer, and a Sub-Zero wine fridge – all perfect for anyone who enjoys entertaining guests or just having a quiet dinner at home. All countertops are White Fantasy Quartz and feature a white glass stone backsplash. There is tremendous counter space, built-in storage, and a breakfast island for casual dining.

The master suite boasts a large walk-in closet with built-ins all around and pocket mirrored French doors. Facing east, the room enjoys beautiful views and sunlight. The luxurious master bathroom of Calacatta Gold marble features a Duravit double sink, Toto toilet, Bain Ultra Air Jet soaking tub, a steam shower, and Fantini fixtures. There is even a TV to watch news in the morning!

Next to the master suite is a charming second bedroom, also light and bright with fantastic views. The third bedroom is complete with two huge outfitted closets and an adjoining bathroom. The third full bath, which also functions as a powder room off the entry foyer, features Bianco Carrara marble and Dornbracht fixtures.

This beautiful apartment is also replete with plentiful built-in closets, all of which have been perfectly customized. Throughout this magnificent home you will find crown molding, recessed lighting, SONOS surround sound, wall mounted TVs, planked oak wood floors, new windows, and new built-in AC units.

It totals 30 floors and offers full-time concierge services, attentive staff, live-in super, laundry room, gym, an outdoor pool, bike room, storage, convenient circular driveway, and a garage with an entrance through the building at a low monthly fee for residents.

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.
