218 E 82Nd St

A five-story pre-war brownstone built in 1920, this intimate co-op contains 14 primarily studio and one-bedroom residences across a classic Upper East Side rowhouse. The façade retains period details and the building reads as a boutique, walk-up property with a live-in superintendent and low monthly maintenance commonly noted in listings. Units typically feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, oversized windows, decorative fireplaces or exposed brick, and original moldings; many apartments have been renovated to include windowed kitchens and bathrooms, granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, breakfast bars and occasional built-in storage. Several units offer private outdoor space ranging from small balconies to garden access. Common exterior amenities emphasize landscaped garden areas rather than large shared facilities. The co-op’s policies are buyer-friendly in several respects: pied-à-terre purchases, guarantors, co-purchasers and parents buying are allowed, and subletting is permitted after a minimum ownership period; pet rules vary by unit/listing with some strict no-pet policies and occasional board approval for small dogs. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block just blocks from Central Park and Museum Mile, the building provides immediate access to multiple subway lines (Q, 4/5/6) and neighborhood shops, groceries and restaurants, suiting residents who want a historic, compact building with strong neighborhood connectivity and modest operating costs.
