Introducing Residence PHD at 230 East 71st Street, a top floor cooperative home in estate condition that is ready for a full renovation. Set within a classic prewar elevator building on a tree lined block between Second and Third Avenue, this residence is a true blank canvas for a buyer who wants to control the layout, finishes and overall design from start to finish. Whether the goal is a clean, contemporary space or a more traditional prewar aesthetic, the apartment offers a solid starting point for a thoughtful reconfiguration with the help of an architect or designer. The home is priced to reflect the scope of work required and the opportunity to add value.

Constructed circa 1929 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1979, 230 East 71st Street combines prewar character with practical amenities. This six-story, 60-unit elevator building features a video and voice intercom security, live in superintendent, central laundry room, bike storage, common storage (subject to availability) and a shared rear garden sitting area. The cooperative permits co-purchasing and gifting, as well as pied a terre use and parents buying for children, with standard financial review and board approval. Maximum financing is permitted up to 75 percent of the purchase price.

In unit washers and dryers, corporate purchases and short-term or AirBnB style rentals are not allowed. Cats are permitted, dogs are not.

The location offers convenient access to the Q, 6 and F trains, with Central Park, neighborhood restaurants, shopping and daily services all within easy reach. This is a straightforward renovation project in a stable, well run cooperative for a buyer who wants to customize their Upper East Side home.
