Property Description for 520 East 90th Street, 2-GLM

Unparalleled Value! Where else can you get 5 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, two living rooms + a dedicated Laundry Room (which can also be a 4th bathroom) for well under $2 million dollars in Manhattan?!? Located in a full-service building with excellent staff, a great community, and a beautiful garden.

Welcome to Gracie Gardens apartment 2LGM. At roughly 2400 Square feet, this is a place you can grow into, won't grow out of, and is reason enough to never have to move out of the city. This incredibly spacious home checks every box and is in move-in condition. As you enter the apartment, you will be amazed by the scale of this home. The entry foyer flows into the open concert dining and formal living space with a wall full of windows which bring in excellent light as you have no neighboring building to the north allowing for an open view and open light. A custom partition separates the formal living room from the double windowed kitchen. The eat-in kitchen has tremendous storage and features wooden cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and is large enough for dining. The dining area can host all of your dinner parties with a dedicated space large enough to seat any type of table.

The 5 bedrooms are located in their own separate wing with the primary bedroom having an en-suite bath and having southern views facing the building's garden area. Each bedroom is spacious in size, with two of the bedrooms currently operating as in home-offices.

There is a large second living room area that is perfect for a dedicated tv space, a children's playroom or just spreading out. Additionally there is a second entrance off of this space which is the perfect mud-room that is tucked behind doors allowing for great stroller or shoe parking! The dedicated laundry area is windowed and has additional counter and cabinetry space. If you so desired this space can become a 4th bedroom or can be combined with the primary bathroom to increase the size.

This home checks every box and then some.

Gracie Gardens is a beautiful co-op complex comprised of four 6-story buildings surrounding a beautiful interior garden.

The building is a boutique co-op offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, storage, bike room, central laundry room, and a lovely landscaped courtyard garden. The building is pet friendly and permits Pied-a-terres. Steps away from Carl Schurz Park, the Gracie Mansion and the East River Esplanade, with the M31 and M86 buses, the Second Avenue subway, and the East 90th Street ferry terminal this neighborhood location is a convenient and wonderful place to call home.

There is a $645.69 assessment that is due to expire 12/31/26. The owner is covering the remainder of the assessment for the year.

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.
