Property Description for 360 East 88th Street, 31-C

Available for rent or for sale. Long term lease permitted. This newly renovated, sun-soaked home is a showstopper with stunning wraparound river and city views from southern, eastern, and northern exposures. Enjoy private outdoor space, a large eat-in kitchen, high ceilings, and an in-unit washer/dryer, all in a full-service luxury condo. Light pours into the elegant gallery entrance hall from the living area, where nearly 40 feet of oversized east-facing windows boast gorgeous river views. The northern and southern exposures are equally beautiful with views all the way to the Chrysler building. The living room proper is almost 32 feet long with an adjacent den that can function as a fourth bedroom. The den is separated by pocket doors and features eastern and southern exposures. The extra large eat-in kitchen faces east and north. The balcony off the kitchen allows you to bask in sunrises or sunsets, with views that stretch from the river to the west side. This is truly a suburban kitchen, with grand dimensions and featuring two ovens, an island, and fantastic storage. The top-of-the-line appliances include a Viking range, stovetop, hood, two ovens, and a microwave. There is also a Subzero wine cooler and refrigerator. The primary bedroom is located in a separate wing for maximum privacy and comes with an oversized custom walk-in closet, separate shoe closet, and a windowed en-suite bathroom with a tub and shower stall. Sweeping open city views fill the suite with natural light. The additional two bedrooms are in their own separate wing. They each have beautiful views from southern exposures, ample closet space, and en-suite bathrooms. Both bedrooms easily accommodate queen size beds with plenty of space for additional furniture. The stylish finishes throughout this home include beautiful herringbone floors, crown moldings and baseboards, a large entry closet, nearly 9 foot ceilings, and an in-unit washer/dryer. 31C is a corner unit with no neighbors on either side. There are only three units on the floor total, and 31C is separated from the other two units by a hallway, stairs, and elevators. Leighton House is a full-service condominium with a 24-hour door attendant, concierge, and top-notch live-in resident manager. Building amenities include a windowed health club with double-height ceilings, yoga studio, and saunas, a landscaped garden with a playground and basketball court, and a common laundry room on the second floor. Pets and investors are welcome. The building is located in the heart of the Upper East Side, proximate to charming restaurants and retail, Whole Foods, Fairway, and the beloved Carl Schurz Park – a mini Central Park offering multiple grassy knolls, playgrounds, basketball and hockey courts, two dog parks, and the highly desirable East River Promenade. The building is also convenient to multiple transportation options: the Second Avenue subway, the 4/5/6 trains, the 86th Street crosstown bus, and the 90th Street ferry.

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.
