220 E 87Th St

A five-story post‑war co-op on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, built in 1960 and composed primarily of studios and one‑bedroom apartments. The boutique elevator building (approximately 44 units) presents an Art Deco–influenced renovated lobby, tree‑lined street frontage with awnings, and a hands‑on live‑in superintendent. Typical residences feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, generous closet and storage solutions including walk‑in closets in some units, separate entrance foyers, built‑in bookcases, and granite or Caesarstone counters in updated kitchens. Common systems include an elevator, on‑site laundry, bicycle storage and additional storage rooms; several units offer private terraces or convertible layouts that open into loft‑like plans. Heating is oil‑fired above ground; cooling is typically window or through‑the‑wall units. The co‑op board permits subletting after three years and allows guarantors and parents buying for children in many cases; pied‑a‑terres and dogs are commonly restricted, though cats or small pets may be permitted in some listings. Street‑level conveniences cluster nearby: grocery (Whole Foods, Fairway), movie theaters, restaurants, and dry cleaners. Transit access is immediate — express and local services on the 4/5/6 and nearby Q/Second Avenue lines — making the building well placed for urban commuters and neighborhood life.
