True 5 bedroom in prime Upper East Side under $4M!!

This magnificent five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath approx. 3,167 square feet residence boasts loft-like dimensions , spectacular light and endless designer touches in an elegant Carnegie Hill co-op building just off Park Avenue.

The result of a meticulous combination of three large units by architect, West Chin (WCA), this mint-condition showplace is anchored by a chic oversized great room that is the literal heart of the home. A wide expanse of south-facing windows floods the space with sunlight and open sky views, while handsome wide-plank hardwood flooring and custom lighting set a stylish tone. Stretching more than 43 feet long, there’s plenty of room for spacious living and dining areas, and the open modern kitchen offers a breakfast bar for casual dining and a free flow of conversation. Chefs will love the excellent cabinet and counter space and top-of-the-line appliances from Sub Zero and Gaggenau. Two huge walk-in closets and hidden home office provide convenience and ample storage near the gracious foyer.

A desirable split layout places the master suite at the southeast corner of the home. This private and tranquil escape is beautifully outfitted with full walls of custom closets and built-ins and a lovely en suite bathroom. The four additional bedrooms are placed down a quiet hallway in the southwest wing; each one is large and sunny and features ingenious built-ins and roomy closets. Two well-appointed full bathrooms are located across the hall from the secondary bedrooms, and a lavish powder room conveniently serves guests. There’s a private den/media room here (or home office or homework station!), plus a huge laundry room with utility sink and full-size washer and dryer.

55 East 87th Street is a fantastic postwar co-op building located on an enviable Carnegie Hill block. Residents of the pet-friendly building enjoy a grand marble lobby, full-time doorman service, live-in resident manager, on-site garage, laundry room and storage.
