Property Description for 4 East 88th Street, 8-A
Heaven off Fifth!
An incredibly special 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom prewar home is now available just steps from Central Park with iconic views of the Guggenheim, majestic townhouses, and even peaks of Central Park and the reservoir. Architectural grandeur abounds in this light filled home with arched doorways, 9’4 ceilings, turn of the century moldings, casement windows, and a wood burning fireplace.
Step into a gracious foyer through a gorgeous arched doorway to the best and brightest layout in the building. 8A’s floorplan is flexible depending on your preference- you could have a large proper dining room off the kitchen, or an open concept living/dining room which creates an expansive space to entertain on a grand scale- an exceptional rarity in prewar homes. Both options flow beautifully.
There is a windowed, eat-in kitchen with a washer/dryer hookup already installed, and a good sized office or small 4th bedroom with a full bathroom. 8A’s three bedrooms are large, and the primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet, an en-suite bath, and views of Central Park.
There are very few homes left in the city that allow you to own a piece of New York City history. With triple north, south and western exposures, gracious proportions, and jaw dropping original details, Residence 8A is truly one of a kind. And with only four apartments on the floor, and a chic black and white marble semi private landing, this home enjoys quiet privacy. Rounding out this perfect space, a 9 X 5 storage unit also comes with the apartment.
4 East 88th Street is located on one of the most charming blocks in the city, just steps from Central Park between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue. Built in 1922, this stunning Georgian boutique coop is among the most striking buildings in the city. It has nine floors and 35 units, a full time doorman and a gorgeous landscaped roof deck overlooking the Guggenheim and the park. Pets are welcome. 4 East 88th Street has a wonderful live-in superintendent, a bike room, and a laundry room. 65% financing is allowed, and there is a 2% flip tax. Pied a terre, subletting, gifting, and guarantors are permitted.
