For $900K, this Yorkville co-op offers two floors, a clever layout, and a private backyard

Unless we’re talking about a “sleeping loft,” it’s not that easy to find a true one-bedroom on the Upper East Side for under $1 million, but this charmer at 335 East 90th Street offers that and so much more. The completely renovated duplex not only has a large open living/dining area on the upper level, but below, it boasts a bedroom, bonus room, and 660-square-foot landscaped backyard. Pre-war touches such as exposed brick and a wood-burning fireplace remain but are complemented by modern built-in storage, a sleek kitchen, and contemporary spiral staircase.

The entrance opens to the first-floor living space, complete with new wood laminate floors, 10-foot ceilings, and a state-of-the-art kitchen with custom cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. The living room has two separate walls of built-in shelving, one more traditional and one a bit fun, with floating boxes set against geometric wallpaper. Not pictured is a built-in designer’s office against the living room wall.

Down the spiral staircase are two more windowed rooms. Though only one is technically considered a bedroom, the other room is definitely large enough to serve as a second bedroom; it’s currently configured as a den and additional office space. There’s a second full bathroom on this level, as well as four closets which are in addition to the two upstairs.

But what makes this $899,000 ask such a great deal is the gorgeous private backyard. It’s been tastefully landscaped and the patio is plenty big for entertaining. Another bonus? With a location between 1st and 2nd Avenues, the apartment is right near the 86th Street station of the Second Avenue Subway and
