Property Description

The pinnacle of townhouse living, this 1899 Italianate-style brick home has been fully restored for modern life-welcome to 307 East 87th Street.

PARLOR LEVEL: The main entrance opens into a grand foyer rich with original detail and nearly 12-foot ceilings. A sweeping staircase serves as the home's centerpiece, topped by a skylight that brings natural light through the core of the house. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout. Mirrored archways flank the foyer, filtering light into both the study and formal living room. Each room features original moldings, wood-burning fireplaces with ornamented mantels, and built-ins. The front room functions as a study, while the formal living room sits at the rear, overlooking the garden.

Designed for entertaining, the kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Wolf range oven, and industrial-inspired finishes, including a custom stainless steel hood. The kitchen flows into a dining area-also usable as a family room-centered around another wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead to a fully landscaped backyard, ideal for entertaining. A built-in fire pit and seating area make a strong first impression, with steps ascending to an elevated dining terrace. Thoughtful landscaping and a built-in irrigation system complete the space.
