220 E 82Nd St

A five-story prewar walk-up built in 1910, this intimate brownstone-style cooperative on the Upper East Side contains primarily one-bedroom residences. The façade and lobby retain period character while the building’s scale and layout reflect early 20th-century townhouse construction. Units frequently feature high ceilings, exposed brick walls, decorative fireplaces, hardwood floors, and compact but well-appointed kitchens with stone or granite counters and modern stainless-steel appliances. Many apartments offer windowed bathrooms, plentiful closet space and modest private outdoor terraces under 60 sq ft in some units. Common areas are low-key and well maintained: carpeted stairways, renovated hallways, street-entry oak and beveled glass doors, and an on-site superintendent. Building services include 24-hour surveillance, ground-floor retail that hosts laundry/drop-off services, and income from retail that helps keep maintenance low. Co-op policies historically permit pieds-a-terre, co-purchases, guarantors and parental purchases; subletting is allowed after a period of ownership with board approval. Pet policies vary by offering but several listings state no pets while others allow small pets; prospective buyers should confirm current rules with management. The location places residents a short walk from multiple subway lines (Q and 4/5/6), Central Park, Museum Mile, grocery options like Whole Foods and Fairway, and a wide selection of restaurants, shops and fitness studios typical of Yorkville and the Upper East Side.
