4 E 88Th St

Built in 1922, this nine-story neo-Georgian cooperative at 4 East 88th Street sits between Fifth and Madison Avenues just off Central Park. The red-brick façade and restrained prewar detailing reflect Carnegie Hill’s early 20th-century aesthetic. The building contains roughly 34–35 residences, typically arranged as multi-room classic prewar apartments; floors commonly have four units, and select homes combine to form duplexes or larger full-floor layouts. Interiors preserve traditional elements: high beamed or coffered ceilings, hardwood herringbone or wide-plank floors, wood-burning fireplaces, and gracious entry foyers leading to expansive living and formal dining rooms. Apartment plans range from two-bedroom layouts with eat-in kitchens to full Classic Seven and larger five-bedroom duplexes; many units include built-in millwork, custom closets, and renovated kitchens and baths that blend modern appliances with period details. Common features in several apartments include in-unit washers/dryers, through-wall or partial central air, and private storage lockers. Building services and shared amenities emphasize convenience and community: a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, landscaped roof deck with park and Guggenheim views, central laundry room, bike room, and common storage. The co-op permits pets, pied-a-terre ownership, and subletting on a case-by-case basis; financing allowances and a modest flip tax are in place. The location provides immediate access to Central Park, museum institutions, and the shopping and dining of the Upper East Side.
