Leslie J. Garfield & Co., Inc. arranged the sale of 546 East 87th Street, a renovated four-story single-family townhouse located on the South side of 87th Street between East End and York Avenues. This 3,500 s/f building is on a lot-18'x62' and contains four bedrooms, a home office and family room, and a fully built out first floor with a skylight above. The property was held at $6.45 million. This property was sold by Garfield in 2004 and was totally gut renovated by the owners at the time with brand new systems and interiors. Due to his relocation to the West Coast he was forced to put the house on the market. Within the first two weeks of listing the property, a couple was brought in who had been looking for a house in the neighborhood. A deal was negotiated fairly quickly. Buyers are a family who live nearby and have 2 children. Lydia Rosengarten of Leslie J. Garfield & Co., Inc. exclusively represented the sellers and the buyers were represented by Pam Marcus of the Corcoran Group. At the time of closing, a third party relocation company, Weichert Workforce Mobility were the official sellers and they were represented by Stacy Bechakas, Esq. of Hogan & Willig Real Estate Center.
