Property Description for 11 East 87th Street, PHCDE
A Home to Love in the Heart of Carnegie Hill
Welcome to PHCDE at 11 East 87th Street, a wonderfully expansive three- or four-bedroom, three-full-bath residence offering grand proportions, beautiful light, and a truly sublime location just off Fifth Avenue. The moment you arrive, it is easy to understand why this home feels so special. With Central Park, Madison Avenue, Museum Mile, and some of Manhattan's finest shopping and dining just outside your door, the setting is extraordinary-but the apartment itself is the real surprise.
A gracious entry foyer welcomes you with a generous walk-in closet and inviting seating area. From here, the home unfolds beautifully into an impressive south-facing living room, filled with natural light and enhanced by a coveted corner exposure with views toward Madison Avenue. The entertaining spaces flow effortlessly from one room to the next, leading to an elegant dining room comfortably sized for a table of ten and memorable dinners.
Adjacent to the dining room, a custom butler's pantry adds both style and practicality, with generous counter space for entertaining and abundant storage for serving pieces. The pantry leads directly into a spectacular, oversized windowed chef's kitchen, complete with a full suite of top of the line appliances, plentiful cabinetry, and a charming breakfast area with a dedicated home-office area. A beautifully renovated full bath, finished with mosaic tile and a glass-enclosed shower, is conveniently located just beyond the kitchen. Tucked between the kitchen and dining room, a delightful corner den with a southeast exposure offers wonderful flexibility-as a cozy television room, study, library, or fourth bedroom.
The private bedroom wing is thoughtfully separated from the entertaining spaces, creating a peaceful retreat. Bathed in southern light, the hallway features custom built-in bookshelves, two oversized double closets, and a full bath shared by the secondary bedrooms. The first bedroom enjoys a bright western corner exposure and lovely views toward Central Park, with ample room for furnishings and a beautifully outfitted double closet. The second bedroom is equally bright, with its own corner exposure, fitted double closet and wonderful park views....
And then there is the primary suite- a true sanctuary! At nearly 600 square feet, it is exceptionally generous in scale and wonderfully private. A dedicated dressing area leads to 2 large walk-in closets, while the renovated primary bath adds a touch of luxury. The king-sized sleeping chamber is complemented by a custom, windowed home office that makes working from home feel decidedly more inspiring. More than simply a large bedroom, this is a private retreat designed for relaxing, recharging, and enjoying the pleasures of home.
With its extraordinary scale, beautiful light, flexible layout, and unbeatable Carnegie Hill location, PHCDE is a home that combines gracious living with the ease and energy of Manhattan at its very best.
