525 East 89th Street 1E

Apartment 1E at Gracie Gardens offers a rare opportunity to own an oversized one-bedroom with the potential to be easily converted into a true two-bedroom (see alternate floor plan). Filled with natural light from abundant south-facing windows, this flexible home is ideally situated on a quiet, picturesque Upper East Side block just moments from the East River Promenade, Carl Schurz Park, and the East River. The home's open, loft-like layout is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, featuring a nearly 25-foot living room, a separate dining area, and a fully outfitted open kitchen with stainless steel appliances and generous cabinet storage. The spacious dining area is perfectly positioned to be transformed into a second bedroom, while still maintaining comfortable living space, making this an exceptional option for buyers seeking room to grow. A spacious foyer, currently configured as a home office, adds even more versatility to the apartment. Beautifully maintained hardwood floors and abundant closet space enhance the home's functionality throughout. The quiet corner bedroom enjoys sunlight from two exposures and is complemented by an adjacent windowed bathroom. Bright, flexible, and thoughtfully designed, this sun-filled residence combines the livability of a larger home with the convenience of an excellent full-service building in one of the Upper East Side's most charming and tranquil neighborhoods. 525 East 89th Street, also known as Gracie Gardens, is an elegant full-service cooperative designed by Sylvan Bien in 1942.
