August 5, 2026 by Georges Benoliel

Beautifully renovated studio, blending classic character with thoughtful modern updates: high ceilings, refinished original wood floors, exposed brick, and recessed overhead lighting. Southern exposure fills this home with wonderful natural light throughout the day. The windowed kitchen has been updated with new appliances, including a dishwasher and an in-unit combination washer-dryer – a rare convenience in a studio home of this size. The renovated windowed bathroom is finished with marble walls and floors. The apartment offers very good closet space for a studio, along with additional storage above the closets. One of the home’s special features is the private roof deck- an exceptional outdoor retreat that offers the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying sunny days and evenings and taking in the open city views.

529 East 88th Street is a small, intimate building with a true neighborhood feel, quietly tucked along one of Yorkville’s most charming tree-lined streets. Just down the block is Carl Schurz Park., and home to Gracie Mansion. You’re also close to New York’s finest museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Other great museums are along New York’s Museum Mile, including the Guggenheim and Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. Yorkville has a vibrant restaurant scene, with new neighborhood favorites to classic New York establishments like Budapest Cafe and Heidelberg Restaurant. There is excellent transportation access: The M86 crosstown bus is just down the block, the Second Avenue subway is nearby, and express service on the 4, 5, and 6 trains are further up the street along
Lexington Avenue.
