108 E 82Nd St

A boutique prewar cooperative on the Upper East Side, this nine-story walk-up/serviced building was completed in the early 1920s and retains classic Edwardian/early 20th-century character. Dedicated primarily to large-family residences, typical units are four- and five-bedroom layouts reconfigured from original maid’s-room plans to create generous eat-in kitchens, formal dining rooms, and separate entrance foyers. Interiors emphasize prewar elements: high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, built-in millwork, wood-burning fireplaces, original French doors and extensive custom cabinetry, while many apartments have been sympathetically modernized with renovated kitchens, marble baths, washer/dryer hookups, and through-wall or central air conditioning. Common areas reflect a full-service coop operation: a staffed lobby with doorman hours extending into the night, a live-in resident superintendent, porter service, central laundry and basement storage rooms. The planted roof deck functions as a communal garden and event space; additional rentable staff/maid rooms on the top floor and a bicycle room expand practicality. Exterior features include a planted roof terrace and private outdoor spaces associated with certain units. The coop’s governance is long-established, pet-friendly, allows limited financing, and carries customary cooperative charges and a modest flip tax. Location is one of the building’s selling points—tree-lined East 82nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, within easy walking distance of Museum Mile, Central Park, subway lines, shops and restaurants.
