218 E 82Nd St

A five-story prewar brownstone built in 1920, this intimate Upper East Side cooperative houses about twenty units and retains classic architectural details. Floors are mostly walk-ups with a mix of studio and one-bedroom layouts; ceiling heights range up to roughly nine to ten feet, and many units showcase exposed brick, decorative fireplaces, crown moldings, and original moldings. Kitchens and bathrooms have been modernized in many apartments with granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, windowed baths, and occasional breakfast bars. The building’s exterior presents a traditional brownstone façade fronting a quiet, tree-lined block with balconies on a few units and private garden or patio space in select lower-level residences. Common services and building systems are straightforward: a live-in superintendent, on-site laundromat access or hookups in some apartments, Fios capability, and low monthly maintenance fees. Co-op board policies are buyer-friendly relative to neighborhood norms—pied-à-terre purchases, guarantors, co-purchasing and parents buying are generally permitted; subletting typically becomes possible after a few years. Pet policies vary by unit or board approval, and parking is street-level neighborhood parking only. The location offers immediate proximity to Central Park, Museum Mile, neighborhood markets and restaurants, and multiple transit options including the 4/5/6 and Q lines plus crosstown bus service, supporting a highly walkable, culturally rich Manhattan lifestyle.
