Description

Nestled just one block from Central Park, Residence 4B at 49 East 96th Street is a warm and inviting two-bedroom home that seamlessly blends prewar character with everyday livability.

A gracious entry foyer with generous closet space sets the tone, opening into a well-proportioned living and dining area, where beautifully integrated built-ins add architectural interest and thoughtful storage, creating a space that feels both comfortable and functional. Classic details throughout include hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and a decorative fireplace that anchors the space.

The windowed kitchen is thoughtfully designed with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a suite of high-end appliances. It offers a practical layout for daily use, with space for barstool seating and a casual eat-in option alongside the formal dining area.

Both bedrooms enjoy dual exposures, with the primary offering generous proportions, a large walk-in closet, and easy access to a windowed marble bathroom complete with a tub. The second bedroom is well-positioned off the living room, offering both privacy and flexibility for guests, a home office, or den.

49 East 96th Street is a full-service, Art Deco cooperative designed by noted architect Thomas W. Lamb, ideally situated in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, bike storage, laundry, private storage, and a recently renovated, windowed fitness room. Pet-friendly and exceptionally well run, the building offers strong financials, low monthly maintenance, and allows up to 60% financing.

The location offers the best of the Upper East Side lifestyle, just moments from Central Park, the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, and multiple playgrounds, as well as Museum Mile and some of the neighborhood's most beloved destinations, including Daily Provisions, Island, The Corner Bookstore, and Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. Nearby access to the 4/5/6 and Q trains makes getting around the city seamless.
