47 E 87Th St

A 15-story, 16-unit cooperative built in 1947 and articulated in a restrained Art Deco vocabulary, this white‑glove residence occupies a prominent Carnegie Hill corner near Madison Avenue and one block from Central Park. Common spaces reflect classic prewar details — a formal entrance foyer, staffed 24‑hour doorman service and an on‑site superintendent — while the building’s scale yields a low-density, residential feel uncommon for Manhattan. Apartment types skew to two- and three-bedroom plans with convertible layouts; many residences feature high ceilings, herringbone or oak parquet floors, decorative fireplaces, and enclosed sunrooms or private balconies. Kitchens and baths have been updated in a range of finishes from traditional to bespoke contemporary, and select homes include washer/dryer hookups and custom millwork. Building amenities support everyday convenience and lifestyle: a fitness room, bike room, transferable private storage lockers, central laundry, and private outdoor terraces on some units. Operational policies are owner-friendly for the market: pied-à‑terre ownership, co‑purchasing and limited subletting permitted with board approval; pets allowed. Practical considerations include a purchaser-paid flip tax and typical co‑op financing limits. The location anchors the building in Museum Mile retail, dining, transit options and immediate access to Central Park’s green spaces and cultural institutions.
