Overview of 517 East 87th Street
517 East 87th Street is a five story, nine unit pre war townhouse cooperative built in 1925 and converted in 1987. Its most distinctive residence is a triplex extending across the first two floors and a lower level, with a 25 by 20 foot private garden. The building is 25 feet wide and sits mid block between York and East End Avenues.
The apartments reflect the building's townhouse proportions, with floor through layouts, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and exposed brick recurring across the residences. Several apartments have flexible bonus rooms or loft areas that can function as offices, nurseries, or additional sleeping space, while windowed kitchens and in-unit laundry appear in multiple layouts. The triplex is the building's most unusual configuration, with its principal living levels arranged vertically rather than on a single floor.
The co-op is half a block from the East River Promenade and Carl Schurz Park, with Gracie Mansion and Asphalt Green also close by. Carl Schurz Park includes pickleball and basketball courts and a small dog park, while the surrounding Yorkville blocks are lined with townhouses, neighborhood shops, restaurants, and markets.
The building is pet friendly and permits co-purchasing and pied-à-terre ownership with board approval on a case by case basis. The Q stops at 86th Street and Second Avenue, and the 4, 5, and 6 trains stop at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue; the FDR Drive and the East River ferry are also nearby.

Sales History
Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?
For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
