About this House
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 1880s, 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 original details, including multiple wood-burning fireplaces, wood shutters in each street-facing room, plaster medallions, and wood work, and a magnificent full-floor parlor. A south-facing garden planted with shadbush, climbing hydrangea and roses 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 can be closed off for privacy by pocket doors and french doors. Over the years, this flexible space has served as a playroom, study and home office. 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 with beautiful ceiling plaster medallions, oversized windows and exceptional entertaining spaces. The front and rear parlor blend seamlessly yet function individually as a library/office and an intimate gathering space. The rear parlor features a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, custom cabinetry and windows overlooking the garden.
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
A roof-top skylight brightens the top floor, which features two bedrooms and a third room that can serve as an office, library or bedroom.There is a full double-sink 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.
