Property Description for 120 East 87th Street, R-6C

Welcome to residence R6C—where iconic history meets modern luxury—at the coveted Park Avenue Court. The truly unique home features soaring 14’ ceilings, a meticulously-designed open chef’s kitchen, and abundant closet space and is situated in one of the Upper East Side’s most respected white-glove condominiums. As one steps into the entry foyer, they are immediately swept by the grandiosity of the double-height ceilings and greeted by gleaming sunlight through 10’ windows. The stunning, open, chef’s kitchen is complete with top-tier Thermador appliances including gas range, sizable refrigerator, and dishwasher, pristine quartz counter tops, and a delightful breakfast bar and blends seamlessly into the charismatic great room which provides ample room for both living and dining. The king-sized bedroom offers a walk-in closet and more over-sized windows artfully framing the view beyond. The newly renovated marble bathroom boasts significant storage including a triple-paned mirrored vanity a luxurious bathtub with a modern glass siding door, and new fixtures throughout. The property also features an enormous entryway walk-in closet, central air, espresso oak flooring, blackout shades, striking marble window sills, and laundry on the floor. Park Avenue Court is widely considered one of the most prestigious condominiums on the Upper East Side. The white-glove building offers its residents a full-time doorman, porter service and concierge, two beautifully landscaped and furnished courtyards, a private health club and fitness center complete with one of the only salt-water indoor pools found in the area, a children’s play room, bicycle room, laundry on the floor, and an adjacent garage. The stately building formerly housed Gimbals department store and has its history to thank for many of its unique architectural elements. World-renowned architecture firm Skidmore Owens and Merrill exquisitely transformed the property for residential living in 1989 and the lobby underwent a masterful renovation in 2021. The attentive, wonderful, dedicated staff is truly the best there is. Pets are welcomed. Only three blocks from Central Park, the unique location is a delightful combination of old world, classic New York charm and serenity and an abundance of modern conveniences. The purely residential block is adorned with peach blossoms and daffodils in the springtime and friendly, familiar faces year-round—it truly feels like a little community of its own—and is surrounded by some of the absolute best dining and shopping the city has to offer.

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.
