Set on the heart of the Upper East Side, this spacious bi-level apartment offers an open, generous layout, including a large storage loft, while soaring 13-foot ceilings and towering windows usher abundant natural light into the entire home.

Originally configured as a one-bedroom, the previous owner opened up the lower level and added the sleeping loft. So the new owner has the option of setting this up as a one-bedroom plus loft, with two separate sleeping spaces while leaving plenty of space for living and dining, or preserving it as an enormous open-plan studio.

The stylish kitchen gleams with stainless steel Asko and Sub-Zero appliances and stately slate- countertops. The luxurious bathroom is tiled with luminous, azure glass rectangles, making the lengthy soaking tub feel like a soothing retreat from the outside world. The entire home is filled with ample storage and closet space.

Formerly the home of a fabled Gimbels department store, the full-service condominium building at 120 E 87th Street combines modern living with dazzling Art Nouveau details. Amenities include a renovated swimming pool, health club, childrens playroom and parking garage.

There is an entrance to the 4, 5 and 6 trains just around the corner, Whole Foods and Fairway markets each less than 2 blocks away, and all of the cultural and convenience perks of the Carnegie Hill neighborhood (92nd Street Y, Museum Mile) are just outside your door.
