Property Description for 56 East 87th Street, 6-C

Please enquire for video walkthrough! Nestled on a tranquil, tree-lined street, apartment 6C is a charming two-bedroom, two-bath residence in a picturesque elevator co-op building. Located on the top floor, this intimate co-op offers both north and south exposures, bathing the home in abundant sunlight throughout the afternoon. Its interior-facing position ensures a quiet and serene living environment. With ceiling heights measuring approximately nine-and-a-half feet, anchored by hardwood flooring throughout, the home feels open and airy. The entry hall, complete with a large coat closet, provides a warm welcome into the home. The living and dining rooms are currently separated by a plywood-reinforced wall, providing both division and additional space for art display. This wall can easily be removed for those who prefer an open-plan layout, or it can remain to maintain separation or even create an additional bedroom area. The primary suite is spacious, featuring two large closets and overhead storage. The en-suite windowed bath boasts a vintage design with dual sinks and a separate soaking tub. The second bedroom offers excellent storage and also includes a windowed en-suite marble bath with soaking tub. The windowed kitchen maximizes vertical space with cabinetry that offers ample storage and functionality, continuing the vintage theme with a mix of wood and glass. It is equipped with a dishwasher, stainless steel refrigerator, and in-unit washer and dryer. Situated on East 87th Street between Park and Madison Avenues, this location is truly unparalleled. With Morton Williams market on the corner and Central Park just a block away, convenience is at your doorstep. The area is rich with countless shops, restaurants, and museums, all within easy walking distance. For commuting, the 4, 5, and 6 trains, along with the crosstown bus, are conveniently located on 86th Street. This Beaux Arts style pre-war elevator co-op building, completed in 1923, offers an intimate living experience with just 33 residences spread across six stories. While the building does not have a doorman, it is pet-friendly, allowing both dogs and cats with Board approval. Residents can enjoy a planted courtyard garden along with bike and laundry rooms. Additionally, the apartment includes a sublevel storage closet, providing extra convenience and space. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to make residence 6C your own.

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.
