Property Description
502 East 87th Street
Εlegаnt Upреr Εast Side Τοwnhοuѕe wіth a 55-Foot South-Facing Garden
An exceptional 18-foot-wide single-family residence, 502 East 87th Street seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with modern comfort and functionality. Impeccably maintained by its current owners, this gracious Upper East Side townhouse retains its classic proportions, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and distinctive original details across four floors plus a full basement.
At the heart of the residence is a generously proportioned formal living room that flows effortlessly into a rear library or sitting room overlooking the garden. Large windows fill the space with natural light, while a marble wood-burning fireplace provides an inviting focal point. Custom built-in shelving adds both architectural character and practical storage.
The garden level is designed for relaxed everyday living and effortless entertaining. At the rear, a spacious open kitchen features a Wolf 36-inch dual-fuel range and Sub-Zero 36-inch refrigerator, with French doors opening directly onto an extraordinary 55-foot, south-facing garden-a rare and wonderfully private outdoor retreat in Manhattan. Abundant storage and a convenient powder room enhance the functionality of the level, while a charming dining room at the front provides an intimate setting for meals and gatherings.
The upper floors comprise four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary suite occupies the rear of the third floor and offers generous closet space and a large en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub. A charming second bedroom at the front of the floor, currently well suited as a home office, enjoys its own en-suite bathroom.
The top floor features two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, excellent natural light, a washer and dryer, and an oversized landing with direct stair access to the roof. The formal staircase continues upward, offering the potential to create a private roof deck.
Additional highlights include central air conditioning, extensive storage throughout, a large open cellar, and additional air rights for potential development.
Ideally located on a quiet, tree-lined Upper East Side block, the residence is moments from Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, Asphalt Green, and Gracie Mansion. With its rare width, gracious interiors, original architectural character, thoughtful modern updates, and expansive south-facing garden, 502 East 87th Street offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy elegant and private townhouse living in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.
