170 E 88Th St

A low-rise cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this five-story, 1980-built boutique building contains a small collection of one-bedroom and duplex loft-style homes across thirteen units. The exterior presents a modest, residential scale that blends with the tree-lined block; many residences feature private outdoor space in the form of small balconies or larger terraces. Interiors emphasize loft-like volume in select duplex units with double-height living rooms, oversized windows, skylights and finishes ranging from restored hardwood floors to polished concrete and custom millwork. Typical apartment layouts include dedicated dining areas, entrance foyers, walk-in closets and fully outfitted eat-in kitchens; several units allow in-unit washers and dryers and some have wood-burning fireplaces and saunas. Building services and systems are straightforward: elevator access, a live-in superintendent, package handling and a laundry room. Policies are cooperative norms — pet-friendly with board approval for pieds-a-terre, sublets and co-purchasing in many cases. Located in Carnegie Hill/Upper East Side, residents are a short walk from Central Park, Museum Mile, multiple subway lines (4/5/6 and Q), groceries and neighborhood retail, supporting an active, walkable city lifestyle.
