Property Description for 439 East 88th Street, 2-F
Exciting opportunity to own a super charming, well-priced true 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with a PRIVATE TERRACE on the Upper East Side.
Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by beautiful solid oak hardwood floors and a spacious living and dining room overlooking the building’s gated courtyard. Right off the living room, you can step outside to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine on your private terrace. The kitchen is fully functional, offering plenty of cabinet space and brand-new quartz countertops with bar seating. The bathroom was just updated and is in perfect working order while still retaining its pre-war charm.
Both bedrooms face south and receive tremendous light. They are large enough to accommodate king-sized beds with plenty of extra room for bedside tables and additional furniture.
In total, there are four closets offering more storage than you’ll need. Additionally, there’s through-the-wall AC in every room, and the apartment includes its own private storage unit, which is included with the sale.
439 East 88th Street is a well-run boutique co-op located on a beautiful tree-lined street on the Upper East Side. Amenities include key-locked elevator, superintendent, private storage, bike room, courtyard, and laundry room. Ideally located near Carl Schurz Park, Asphalt Green, and Central Park, the location cannot be beaten. There are several supermarkets, including Whole Foods, within a two-block radius, as well as many restaurants, bakeries, and café options within walking distance. Transportation is easily accessible with the Q, 4, 5, 6 trains, the new East River Ferry on 90th Street, and the cross-town bus on 86th Street. Pets are welcome!
Guarantors, gifting, and co-purchasing are permitted.

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.
