From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Heaven Off Fifth! Residence 4A is an incredibly special 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home just steps from Central Park with jaw dropping views of the Guggenheim, majestic townhouses, and even peaks of Central Park. Architectural grandeur abounds in this pin drop quiet, and light filled pre-war jewel with 9'4 beamed ceilings, casement windows, and a wood burning fireplace. Step into a gracious foyer to the gorgeous arched doorway and you will find a perfect "Classic 7" and the largest line in the building. With triple north, south and western exposures, gracious proportions, and jaw dropping original details, Residence 4A is one of a kind. And with only four apartments on the floor and a semi private landing, this home enjoys quiet privacy. Rounding out this idyllic space- a large storage unit also comes deeded with the apartment. There is a gracious dining room off the windowed eat-in kitchen, and a good sized office/maids room off the kitchen. 4A's three bedrooms are large, the primary has an en suite bath and the two other bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom (with a bathtub). A washer/dryer and central air is allowed by the building. 4 East 88th Street is located on one of the most charming blocks in the city, just steps from Central Park between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue. Built in 1922, this stunning Georgian boutique coop is among the most striking buildings in the city. It has nine floors and 35 units, a full time doorman, and last but not least, a truly show-stopping landscaped roof deck overlooking the Guggenheim and the Park. Pets of any size are welcome. 4 East 88th Street has a wonderful live-in superintendent, a bike room, and a laundry room. 65% financing is allowed, and there is a 2% flip tax. Pied-a-terre, subletting, gifting, and guarantors are Allowed!
