245 E 87th Street 18-B

n the hush of a sunlit cοrner οf the Εaѕt Ѕіde, this spасіοus οne-bedroom residence opens itself to light with quiet authority. Western exposures pour across a meticulously renovated, windowed kitchen of high-end refinement, while the large bedroom—graced by eastern light and a private balcony—invites the day to linger. Real hardwood floors run underfoot, new central air conditioning moves with near-silence, and generous cedar-lined closets in both living room and bedroom hold the scent of quiet luxury.

The kitchen is composed with intention: a brand-new LG refrigerator, still under a five-year warranty, stands beside a VinoTemp wine cooler; a Bosch dishwasher and Bertazzoni range complete a space made for both daily ritual and considered entertaining. Artemide sconces cast a measured glow.

One-and-a-half baths are fully tiled in the manner of a private sanctuary. The powder room presents a custom vanity with a Stone Forest sink; the main bath offers a Graff faucet, a 40-inch Robern medicine cabinet, and the clean geometry of a one-inch glass shower seat. An in-unit washer and dryer complete the sense of ease.

Carl Schurz Park and Central Park lie minutes away. The Second Avenue subway is within one block, placing Midtown, Downtown, and Brooklyn within effortless reach, while the 4, 5, and 6 trains are a short three-block walk. Fairway and Whole Foods—and soon Trader Joe’s—sit a block in either direction; two cinemas are within two blocks. Retail, dining, and daily essentials gather at the doorstep without disturbing the hush of a well-placed home.

The Mayflower itself rests in excellent financial condition, free of assessments. Converted from oil to gas, the building features a new boiler, updated HVAC, new elevators, and a renovated lobby. Residents enjoy a landscaped roof deck, building laundry, bike storage, 24-hour concierge, and a live-in superintendent.

A quiet, light-filled home with terrace, laundry, and open views—on one of the East Side’s most livable corners.
