Arkitektural na Obra Maestra sa Fifth Avenue
2 East 88th Street, Residensiya 10 / 1068 Fifth Avenue, Residensiya 10

Maligayang pagdating sa isang natatanging alok sa isa sa mga pinaka-kilalang kooperatiba sa Manhattan. Ang Residensiya 10 sa 2 East 88th Street, na itinatampok sa Architectural Digest at dinisenyo ng AD100 Hall of Fame architects SheltonMindel & Associates, ay isang bihirang bahay na kumakatawan sa buong palapag na pinagsasama ang modernist na kaangkupan sa walang-kapanahunan na prestihiyo ng Upper East Side.

Sa halos limampung talampakang harapan sa Fifth Avenue at dalawampung oversized na mga bintana sa tatlong exposures, ang maliwanag na residensiyang ito ay nag-framing ng malawak na tanaw ng Central Park, ang Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, at ang Guggenheim Museum. Nakataas sa ibabaw ng mga tuktok ng puno, ito ay nag-eenjoy ng walang hadlang na hilagang exposures, na permanenteng pinoprotektahan ng museo sa tabi. Ang mga panloob ay tinutukoy ng labing-isang talampakang beam ceilings, puting lacquer na mga finish, custom na puting resin at itim na wenge-wood na sahig, at dalawang fireplace na nag-aapoy ng kahoy.

Ang isang pribadong landing ng elevator ay nagbubukas sa isang basang vestibule, na humahantong sa isang dramatikong dalawampu't-walong talampakang gallery na nagsisilbing sentro ng plano ng palapag at nagtatakda ng entablado para sa isang enfilade ng mga silid para sa kasiyahan sa kahabaan ng Fifth Avenue. Ang sala sa hilagang-kanlurang sulok, na may siyam na oversized na bintana at isang fireplace na naka-encase ng walnut, ay dumadaloy sa isang maliwanag na aklatan at silid para sa media na may pangalawang fireplace, at isang pinong dining room na may sandblasted glass walls na nag-filter ng liwanag mula sa courtyard. Ang eat-in chef's kitchen, na nakatago sa likod ng isang labing-anim na talampakang basang pader, ay nakapag-ayos ng Bulthaup cabinetry, isang stainless-steel na isla, at mga propesyonal na kagamitan mula sa Sub-Zero, Viking, at Miele. Isang powder room na may tanawin ng parke, nakatagong imbakan, at vented laundry ang nagtatapos sa pakpak na ito.

Ang mga pribadong bahagi ay kinabibilangan ng isang pangunahing suite na naa-access sa pamamagitan ng isang corridor na may walnut-paneled na may sampung custom na closet. Sa bukas na tanawin ng parke, ang retreat na ito ay may spa-quality bath na may Dornbracht fixtures, radiantly heated na mga sahig, isang malalim na soaking tub, at isang steam rainfall shower na may dual heads. Lahat ng tatlong silid-tulugan ay nakaharap sa hilaga, na may bukas na exposures na tumitingin sa Central Park at sa Guggenheim Museum, na tinitiyak ang pambihirang liwanag, privacy, at tanawin. Isang flexible na ika-apat na silid-tulugan na may Murphy bed at en-suite bath ang nagtatapos sa plano.

Kasama sa mga karagdagang tampok ang central air conditioning, isang integrated security system, isang custom audio-visual system na may gallery lighting, at dalawang unit ng storage na ililipat kasama ang apartment. Nangangailangan ang kooperatiba ng 3 porsyentong flip tax, na babayaran ng mamimili.

Kasaysayan ng Gusali

Natapos noong 1930 ng Bing & Bing at dinisenyo ng Pennington & Lewis, ang 2 East 88th Street ay isa sa mga pinaka-arkitektural na natatanging prewar cooperatives sa Fifth Avenue. Ang disenyo nito ng Art Moderne ay tinatangisan ng isang dramatikong rooftop tower na pinalamutian ng mga ulo na bato na may estilo Griyego, isang pag-alaala sa Porch of the Maidens sa Acropolis, na nagtatago sa tangke ng tubig at utilities ng gusali. Sa labing-tatlong malalawak na residensiya sa labing-apat na palapag, ang kooperatiba ay pinahahalagahan para sa sukat, craftsmanship, at discretion. Ang mga white-glove na serbisyo ay kinabibilangan ng isang full-time doorman at isang live-in superintendent. Tamang-tama ang lokasyon sa tapat ng Guggenheim at tuwid sa Central Park, ang gusali ay pinagsasama ang arkitektural na pedigree, kahalagahan sa kultura, at isang pambihirang katahimikan para sa isang address sa Fifth Avenue.

Architectural Masterpiece on Fifth Avenue
2 East 88th Street, Residence 10 /  1068 Fifth Avenue, Residence 10

Welcome to an exceptional one-of-a-kind offering in one of Manhattan's most distinguished cooperatives. Residence 10 at 2 East 88th Street, featured in Architectural Digest and designed by AD100 Hall of Fame architects SheltonMindel & Associates, is a rare full-floor home that merges modernist refinement with timeless Upper East Side prestige.

With nearly fifty feet of Fifth Avenue frontage and twenty-five oversized windows across three exposures, this luminous residence frames sweeping vistas of Central Park, the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, and the Guggenheim Museum. Elevated above the treetops, it enjoys unobstructed northern exposures, permanently protected by the museum directly next door. The interiors are defined by eleven-foot beamed ceilings, white lacquer finishes, custom white resin and black wenge-wood floors, and two wood-burning fireplaces.

A private elevator landing opens to a glass vestibule, leading into a dramatic twenty-eight-foot gallery that anchors the floor plan and sets the stage for an enfilade of entertaining rooms along Fifth Avenue. The northwest corner living room, with nine oversized windows and a walnut-encased steel fireplace, flows into a luminous library and media room with a second fireplace, and a refined dining room with sandblasted glass walls that filter courtyard light. The eat-in chef's kitchen, concealed behind a sixteen-foot glass wall, is outfitted with Bulthaup cabinetry, a stainless-steel island, and professional-grade appliances by Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele. A powder room with park views, concealed storage, and a vented laundry complete this wing.

The private quarters include a primary suite accessed through a walnut-paneled corridor with ten custom closets. With open park views, this retreat features a spa-quality bath with Dornbracht fixtures, radiant heated floors, a deep soaking tub, and a steam rainfall shower with dual heads. All three bedrooms face north, with open exposures overlooking Central Park and the Guggenheim Museum, ensuring exceptional light, privacy, and views. A flexible fourth bedroom with a Murphy bed and en-suite bath completes the layout.

Additional features include central air conditioning, an integrated security system, a custom audio-visual system with gallery lighting, and two storage units that transfer with the apartment. The cooperative requires a 3 percent flip tax, payable by the purchaser.

Building History

Completed in 1930 by Bing & Bing and designed by Pennington & Lewis, 2 East 88th Street is one of Fifth Avenue's most architecturally distinctive prewar cooperatives. Its Art Moderne design is crowned by a dramatic rooftop tower adorned with Greek-style stone heads, an homage to the Porch of the Maidens at the Acropolis, which conceals the building's water tank and utilities. With just thirteen expansive residences across fourteen stories, the cooperative is prized for its scale, craftsmanship, and discretion. White-glove services include a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent. Ideally located across from the Guggenheim and directly on Central Park, the building combines architectural pedigree, cultural significance, and an uncommon tranquility for a Fifth Avenue address.
