47 E 87Th St

47 East 87th Street is a 15-story, 1947 Art Deco cooperative on the Upper East Side’s Carnegie Hill, occupying the corner of Madison Avenue and East 87th Street. The building is finished in classic prewar details and retains formal layouts: large foyers, high ceilings, herringbone or parquet floors, decorative fireplaces in some units, and extensive built-in millwork. Residences are primarily multi-room three-bedroom configurations and convertible two- and three-room plans that often include separate dining rooms, sunrooms or solaria, dens/home offices, and generously sized storage closets. Many apartments feature renovated kitchens with high-end appliances, granite or marble counters, pantry space, washer/dryers in-unit (permitted), and modernized baths with quality tile and finishes. Exterior-facing units offer multiple exposures, private terraces or balconies in select homes, and frequent southern and western light; several high-floor residences provide expansive skyline views including glimpses of Central Park and Museum Mile. Common areas and services reflect a full-service white-glove co-op: 24-hour doormen, a live-in superintendent, recently updated fitness room, laundry, bike room, private storage that transfers with certain apartments, and porter services. Policies are co-op-specific but generally permissive: pets allowed, pieds-à-terre permitted, co-purchasing and parents-buying-for-children arrangements accepted, limited subletting and up to 50% financing available with board approval. The building’s corner location places residents one block from Central Park, steps from Museum Mile, Madison Avenue boutiques, groceries and dining, with multiple subway and bus options nearby.
