Property Description

Located on a peaceful tree-lined block, this thoughtfully renovated home offers windows in every room, blending prewar charm with modern comfort. Original details like herringbone hardwood floors, high ceilings, moldings, and a cedar closet add warmth and character throughout. A proper entry foyer opens into a spacious south-facing living room with plenty of room for entertaining, dining, or working from home. The windowed eat-in kitchen is unusually large, featuring stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and the option to open it to the living room for a more open layout. The king-size bedroom enjoys both southern and northern exposures and offers generous space for additional furniture. Just outside the bedroom, the windowed bathroom has been tastefully renovated and sits across from a linen closet. 305 East 88th Street is an intimate and well-maintained elevator building with a video intercom, live-in superintendent who accepts packages, two porters, a children’s playroom, a beautifully landscaped courtyard garden, bike room, laundry room, and storage rooms. Pets, pied-à-terres, and parents purchasing for children are welcome, as is 80% financing. Ideally located between Carl Schurz Park and Central Park, the building offers easy access to the Q and 4/5/6 trains, the M86 crosstown bus, and the M15 SBS. Nearby amenities include Fairway, Whole Foods, and some of the best dining and shopping the Upper East Side has to offer.
