Property Description for 309 East 87th Street, 5-M

Apartment 5M at 309 East 87th Street is a beautifully renovated and thoughtfully redesigned one-bedroom home that has been expertly converted into a two-bedroom residence, offering exceptional flexibility and stylish modern living. Renovated and custom designed only a few years ago, the apartment features high-end finishes throughout, creating a sophisticated and move-in-ready home in the heart of the Upper East Side. The layout is easily convertible back to its one bedroom layout by simply removing sliding doors.

The original layout allows for a gracious and sun-filled open living and dining area, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The windowed kitchen has been tastefully renovated with quartz countertops, a honed marble herringbone backsplash, brass cabinet hardware and sink fixtures, and stainless-steel appliances including a new refrigerator and dishwasher. Picturesque views overlooking an architecturally beautiful church and treetops provide a charming and tranquil backdrop from every window in the apartment.

The original living room was custom designed into a second bedroom that is enclosed by an elegant steel and glass sliding door, allowing natural light to flow throughout the space while offering privacy and versatility as a bedroom, home office, or den. The beautifully renovated bathroom features elegant Italian marble finishes, while new wide-plank oak floors add warmth and sophistication throughout the home.

Additional features include through-wall air conditioning, an extraordinary amount of custom-fitted closet storage, and meticulous attention to detail at every turn. Combining thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and attractive open views, Apartment 5M is a turnkey residence that makes exceptional use of every square foot.

309 East 87th Street is a full-service and well-maintained 6-story co-op with 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, bike room, central laundry, garage with lobby access, and a serene, furnished courtyard. Recent upgrades to the lobby and hallways add to the building's upscale appeal. Pets and pieds-a- terre are permitted.

Situated on a lovely, tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper East Side, the building is surrounded by conveniences and close to all the best the neighborhood has to offer. The building is only a short distance to the beauty and recreation of Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion, Asphalt Green and the East River Promenade. Whole Foods, Fairway Market, and H Mart are only a block away. There is an amazing amount of dining, shopping, and fitness options all within a few blocks. Access to transportation is excellent with cross-town bus lines and the express subway at 86th Street (4,5,6) and Lexington, as well as the Second Avenue (Q) subway only one block away!

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.
