Property Description
Beautiful and timeless, 512 East 87th Street is ideally situated on the south side of 87th Street between York and East End Avenues, just one block from Carl Schurz Park, on one of the Upper East Side's most picturesque residential blocks. Originally built in the 1870s, this elegant four-story brownstone has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully laid out for both comfortable everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. Rich in character, the home features an abundance of custom details, including multiple wood-burning fireplaces, original marble mantels, and a magnificent full-floor parlor. A south-facing garden provides a tranquil outdoor retreat. Modern updates include central air conditioning and steam heating controlled by a Nest system, a recently replaced hot water heater, a Ring door camera and ADT system, as well as recently refinished kitchen floors, and a resealed roof. GARDEN FLOOR A private forecourt brings you into the garden level, which is below the stoop. Upon entering the front vestibule you will find a spacious home office to the right which is also suitable as a den. In the center is a lovely open dining area and a generously sized kitchen with extensive counter space made of slate, a built-in desk/workspace area, and generous amounts of cabinetry and storage space. A powder room completes this level. The kitchen opens directly to a beautifully planted, south-facing garden. PARLOR FLOOR Up the stoop, a gracious entry vestibule leads into the grand parlor level, featuring soaring 11-foot ceilings and exceptional entertaining spaces. The front living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, herringbone floors, and oversized windows overlooking the charming, tree-lined street. At the rear, a second living room with a wet bar and another wood-burning fireplace offers an inviting and intimate gathering space. THIRD FLOOR The third floor includes a generously scaled primary bedroom at the front with three oversized windows and a very large walk-in closet. A second bedroom is located at the rear, along with a full bathroom. FOURTH FLOOR The top floor features two additional bedrooms, and a third room that can be used as an office or bedroom. There is a full bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room on this floor. BASEMENT The basement, which is large, houses the home's mechanical systems and is equipped with abundant storage space. It is accessed via a discreet pull-up door under the stairs in the kitchen/dining room. NEIGHBORHOOD Yorkville is a uniquely appealing neighborhood known for its proximity to outstanding recreational amenities. In addition to Carl Schurz Park, nearby highlights include Asphalt Green, the East River Esplanade, and Gracie Mansion. Convenient access to the Q subway line, excellent schools, and a wide array of dining options enhance the neighborhood's appeal. With multiple nearby parking garages and easy access to the FDR Drive, commuting in and out of the city is seamless. This exceptional residence blends historic charm with modern convenience, offering a truly special place to call home.
