Overview of Leighton House at 360 East 88th Street

The building's purple brown Norman brick façade features an interesting mix of treatments, with metal covered windows and a design that critic Suzanne Stephens praised as a "well syncopated orchestration of advancing and receding planes."

Apartments throughout the building offer impressive open views in multiple directions, with many units featuring fireplaces, hardwood floors, and generous closet space. The listings reveal a range of layouts from one bedrooms to sprawling corner units, with higher floor apartments boasting panoramic city and East River views. Notable features in premium units include in unit washer/dryer, private balconies, chef's kitchens with high end appliances like Wolf and Sub Zero, and spa like bathrooms with jacuzzi tubs. Corner apartments particularly stand out for their wrap around windows and multiple exposures.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "pioneering" 46-story tower, designed by "world-renowned" architect James Stewart Polshek, offers "impressive views" from its "thoughtfully designed" residences. The "white-glove" service complements an "extensive" amenity package including a "state-of-the-art" health club, private garden, and playground. Select units feature "dramatic" fireplaces, while "coveted" duplexes boast "soaring ceiling heights." This First Avenue "gem" maintains a "resident-friendly" vibe with its own intranet community, while the "accommodating" condo board keeps things "hassle-free."
