Property Description
Charming Townhouse Garden Duplex
Located near the tranquil Carl Schurz Park, Apartment 1 at 517 East 87th Street offers a unique opportunity to experience prewar elegance in a classic Upper East Side setting. This expansive, 25-foot wide cooperative townhouse presents a thoughtful blend of historic charm, modern functionality, and future potential.
Situated on the main level, the residence features a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout, complete with a 25 x 20-foot private landscaped garden — an inviting outdoor retreat designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The garden is supported by a fully installed irrigation system, ensuring easy maintenance and lush greenery year-round. Oversized Palladian windows overlook the garden and fill the home with natural light. With ceilings reaching up to 11 feet, the interior feels both grand and welcoming.
A 43-foot-long open-plan living and dining area creates a natural flow ideal for hosting or everyday living. A working wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the space, making it a comfortable setting in any season.
The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, a dressing area, and a dedicated dressing counter. The layout offers flexibility, with the option to convert the residence to a 4- or 5-bedroom configuration to suit different needs. The windowed eat-in kitchen provides a comfortable area for dining and includes a separate service entrance for added functionality. The kitchen is also equipped with a vented hood, offering enhanced ventilation for cooking.
Additional interior features include an in-unit washer and dryer, a deeded storage room of approximately 130 square feet, and a split air conditioning system with individual units and ceiling fans in each room, offering convenience and year-round comfort. The upstairs bathroom features a spa-like steam shower, creating a serene retreat within the home. On the street level, onyx-covered window sills add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
The residence is located on a tree-lined block that provides a calm residential environment while remaining accessible to many local conveniences. This pet-friendly home includes generous indoor and outdoor space, offering versatility for a variety of lifestyles.
On the lower level, a fully self-contained guest suite with its own private entrance offers ultimate flexibility. Whether used for extended family, visitors, a private office, or as a commercial or income-producing space, this suite is a valuable extension of the home that can easily adapt to your evolving needs.
Located on a peaceful residential block in the Upper East Side, 517 East 87th Street offers close proximity to a range of educational institutions and neighborhood amenities. The property is near Asphalt Green, a well-regarded community fitness and recreation center offering programs for all ages. Carl Schurz Park, a prominent local feature, includes a scenic riverfront promenade, playgrounds, and seasonal cultural events such as music, theater, and outdoor film screenings. The area also includes several civic institutions, contributing to the neighborhood's established and welcoming atmosphere.
Pets, co-purchasers, and pieds-à-terre are all permitted with board consent on a case-by-case basis. No Guarantors allowed.
Come see this exceptional residence for yourself — a home brimming with timeless appeal, limitless potential, and modern comfort.
