315 E 88Th St

A six-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan's Upper East Side, completed in 1926 and containing sixteen primarily two-bedroom residences. The limestone-and-brick facade and modest scale reflect early 20th-century rowhouse and walk-up apartment traditions rather than tower development. Interiors commonly retain period details: high (9–10') ceilings with exposed beams on some floors, crown moldings, hardwood or herringbone floors, gracious entry foyers, defined dining areas and windowed eat-in kitchens. Units often include generous closet systems, his-and-hers configurations in larger homes, renovated windowed bathrooms with soaking tubs, and features such as breakfast bars and built-in storage. Common spaces are residential in scale and well-maintained: a landscaped courtyard/garden, a children's playroom, a bike room, private storage lockers, and a large onsite laundry. The building is staffed with a live-in superintendent and daytime maintenance support; management permits pets with board approval and allows pied-à-terre and typical co-op financing (up to 80% in many cases). Street-level access is quiet and residential, with easy transit—two blocks to the Second Avenue (Q) line and short walks to the 4/5/6 trains—and proximity to Carl Schurz Park, local markets (Whole Foods, Fairway) and neighborhood retail. Overall the property offers classic prewar architecture, maintained shared amenities, and a compact, community-oriented living environment on a tree-lined Yorkville block.
