Located in the Henderson Place Historic District, 556 East 87th Street is a charming, four-story, single-family townhouse set on the south side of 87th Street between East End and York Avenues, steps from the highly coveted Carl Schurz Park. At approximately 3,000 square feet, 556 East 87th Street features four-bedrooms, two full bathrooms and three half baths. This quaint and cozy townhome features a double parlor floor with gracious ceiling heights, nearly 24' of frontage, three exposures, two wood-burning fireplaces, central air conditioning, a formal dining room, and a quaint garden which faces the private gardens of both Henderson Place and East End Avenue. Built in the Queen Anne style, this townhouse's lovely red brick facade is accentuated by its exceptional semicircular arched parlor entry. The Henderson Place Historic District dates back to the late 1800's and today, over a century later, it still maintains much of its original character and detail. One of the most exclusive enclaves on the Upper East Side, these homes boast some of the earliest American examples of the Queen Anne architectural style, which blended characteristics of the Elizabethan Manor House with Flemish and classic detail. While in need of updating, 556 East 87th Street offers a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and historic residence that can be reimagined and customized by a new buyer.
