Description

Located off Fifth Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side, 12 East 97th Street is a beautiful prewar building that's pet friendly, with full-time doormen and a live-in super. Apartment 1EA (which is at the second floor level) is a thoughtful combination and renovation of 2 apartments, resulting in a 6-room apartment which has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, dining room with decorative fireplace, study and a new kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances. High quality built-in bookcases, elegant finishes and custom fitted closets add to the luxurious feel. There are 9'5" ceilings and hardwood floors. Even though the apartment is on the back of the building, it is a beautiful and inviting space with lots of room to spread out. Washers and dryers are permitted.

This is an extraordinarily warm and inviting home which feels much more like a beautiful country house than an apartment. Immaculate and beautifully maintained, it was designed by an accomplished and widely published New York interior designer, who is also the owner.

The building has a charming lobby and a landscaped garden entry. In the basement is a laundry room, bike room, and a common storage room with designated spaces for each apartment. Located in popular Carnegie Hill near the Reservoir jogging paths, Central Park tennis courts, the East Meadow, and 2 new playgrounds. It is a quick walk to the Conservatory Gardens and many museums, shops and restaurants. St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral with its striking onion domes is just across the street. There is an assessment of $112.47 per month for 12 months, ending 12- 2022.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
