512 E 83Rd St

A five-story pre-war cooperative built in 1910, this intimate walk-up on the Upper East Side offers primarily studio and one-bedroom residences with classic prewar proportions. Ceilings exceed nine feet in many units and interiors commonly feature hardwood floors (often refinished), recessed lighting, breakfast bars or small open kitchens, and entrance foyers with built-in storage. Large, tall windows bring abundant southern or tree-lined street light and often frame views of brownstones and the building’s landscaped garden. Common areas have been recently refreshed; updates include repainted lobbies and hallways, new tile floors and carpeting in corridors, and installed private storage rooms for residents. Outside, a furnished courtyard and garden with barbecue facilities provide a shared outdoor extension of living space, and some units include private outdoor spaces under and over 60 square feet. Practical conveniences include a basement laundry room and bike- and stroller-friendly access from a quiet, tree-lined block. The co-op is lender-approved and operates with flexible ownership policies: co-purchasing, guarantors, pieds-à-terre, and permitted subletting after residency requirements. Pet-friendly rules, a straightforward sponsor-sales pathway for some units (no board approval), and proximity to the Second Avenue Q stop, nearby bus routes, Citi Bike docks, and ferry service round out the neighborhood living experience with quick access to Carl Schurz Park, the East River promenade, and local markets and restaurants.
