Property Description for 302 East 88th Street, 2-F

Welcome to 302 East 88th Street, Apartment 2F! This spacious, tree-lined split two-bedroom home has recently undergone a beautiful custom gut renovation. The current owners designed the space with the intent to live there for years to come. Be the first new homeowners to enjoy the hard work and time invested in this 2019 renovation.

Enter the foyer which includes three deep closets and leads to the dining area and spacious living space. The oversized, nearly 21' foot long living area can easily accommodate living and office or play areas, while the dining space off the entrance provides the perfect space to dine and entertain, or can be used as a functional and practical entry foyer with additional seating and storage.

The fully renovated, windowed kitchen has been thoughtfully laid out with an abundance of cabinet space, Quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Every square inch has been considered in this kitchen to maximize space. Details include white subway tile backsplash, gold-tone hardware, wine storage, and a stylish two-toned white and grey cabinet design.

The master bedroom is truly king-sized, with additional room to create a sitting area or workspace. Best of all, it features an amazing closet, with custom built-ins and lighting.

The second bedroom is situated on a corner, allowing lots of light with both north and west-facing windows, and is positioned off the living room. Works well as either a comfortable-sized bedroom, nursery, or home office, depending on your needs. The windowed bathroom offers a luxurious feel with a glass-enclosed tub, custom shelving, and floor-to-ceiling tiles.

Renovations were completed from top-to-bottom, including, but not limited to, gorgeous new hardwood herringbone floors throughout, custom radiator covers, new doors, a complete electrical upgrade giving it "smart home" capabilities, recessed lighting, and new trim and baseboards. The apartment feels completely new and fresh and is truly move-in-ready.

Located on a quiet and quaint tree-lined side street in the heart of the Upper East Side, this apartment is steps away from the Q train, Whole Foods, Fairway, tons of shops, and restaurants and is a short walk away from Carl Schurz Park. The building offers a part-time doorman, live-in Super, package room, storage, bicycle storage, and laundry on the first-floor level, as well as a below-market rate parking garage in the basement for residents only. Internet/cable/phone package for the low rate of $64 available for residents. Showings are by appointment only.

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.
