Description

Sunny, spacious and quiet this renovated alcove studio with high ceilings, amazing storage and low maintenance in a well-maintained elevator building checks ALL of your boxes. This oversized studio opens into a large entrance foyer with three deep closets. This area is perfect for a separate dining area or home office.

The grand sunken living space perfectly accommodates separate sleeping and living spaces. The renovated windowed kitchen, equipped with a dishwasher, maximizes every square inch with double-height cabinets.

161 East 88th Street is a pre-war Art Deco gem with a part-time doorman M-F 4-7pm, live-in super, central laundry, storage and bike room. The location could not be better 2 blocks to the 4/5/6 and Q trains, Birch Coffee and Le Pain Quotidien on the block, around the corner from Whole Foods and Eli's Essentials, and within a couple blocks of Fairway, Maison Kayser, Sweetgreen, Dig Inn, The Writing Room, Pure Barre, Pure Yoga, Equinox, Soulcycle, New York Sports Club and the 92nd Street Y.

Co-purchasing, pieds-a-terre and subleases are allowed. Cats are permitted but no dogs.
