21, 87e Rue Est

21 East 87th Street, #7B

Spacious, light flooded, prewar, 9-room apartment in prime Carnegie Hill location, this gracious property has the original floorplan and has been beautifully maintained by the same family for about eighty years. It formerly housed a magnificent, world renowned collection of Old Master drawings.

One enters the apartment through an elevator vestibule, shared by one other tenant, into a large foyer leading into a grand, east-facing living room with decorative fireplace and two large, double-hung windows overlooking Madison Avenue. The adjacent formal dining room, easily seating twelve, is linked to the kitchen by a butler’s pantry with sink, refrigerator and dishwasher. In the eat-in kitchen, there is a washer/dryer and, off it, two maid’s rooms with a connecting bath.

The four good-sized bedrooms, all accessed from corridors off the foyer, face south and have ample closet space. The primary one, serviced by a large fitted dressing room closet, is situated on the corner and therefore also has a wonderful, additional eastern exposure and a view overlooking the Park Avenue Synagogue. It has an en suite bathroom with separate shower and bathtub. One of the three bedrooms also has a small bathroom en suite, while the other two (one now used as a library) have a larger connecting bathroom that also provides a powder room for the apartment
