153 E 87Th St

A prewar condominium erected in 1929, this 12-story boutique building contains 13 residences configured primarily as studios and one-bedrooms alongside several larger multi-room duplexes. Its architecture reflects classic 1920s massing and detailing with high ceilings and traditionally scaled windows; several units retain crown moldings, built-ins, and other period interior millwork updated with recessed lighting and modern kitchens. Common areas include a staffed doorman lobby, recently refreshed hallways, on-site superintendent services, laundry room, bike room, storage and package facilities. Private outdoor spaces appear in multiple units as terraces or balconies, and select apartments offer large south-facing terraces with skyline and park views. Systems support through-wall or split A/C, washer/dryer hookups in many homes, and modernized building facade and lobby upgrades completed in recent years. The property sits on the Upper East Side one block from the 4/5/6 express stop, close to Whole Foods, shopping, cultural institutions and Central Park, providing a mix of quiet residential character and immediate urban convenience. Pets are permitted with size limitations in some units; additional policies, parking options and storage allocations are managed by condo administration.
