Property Details
Description
Rare opportunity to own a wonderful two bedroom two bathroom residence at the highly-coveted Trafalgar Court. An elegant and generously designed floor plan creates the perfect balance between living, dining and bedroom areas. A formal entryway offers a warm welcome to this home, before leading into the spacious living room complete with wood burning fireplace and a fantastic wall of windows. A perfect dining area for hosting flanks the separate windowed kitchen which is complete with ample counter space and storage. Positioned on the sun-filled south side of the building, both bedrooms are separated from the living area - with a second full bathroom being accessible from the hallway. The oversized primary bedroom features an updated en-suite, excellent closet space and an abundance of custom built in storage. The second bedroom can easily accommodate a Queen-sized bed - it currently functions as a home office with a queen-size murphy bed. Positioned mid-block between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue, this rarely available residence presents an opportunity to call Carnegie Hill your home. Designed by Warren & Westmore and built in 1923, 161 East 90th Street was converted to a boutique 27 unit co-operative in 1980. Trafalgar Court features a brilliant live-in Superintendent, communal courtyard with a grill, laundry room (no fees), bike storage, childrens playroom and storage cages which are included with the apartment. The pristine lobby was just renovated and the elevator renovation is due to begin Summer 2024. A+ location in the middle of Carnegie Hill, with access to some of the best restaurants, shopping, Central Park, Museum Mile and 92nd Street Y. Convenient transport choices with 4/5/6 and Q Subway being moments away, in addition to many bus and Citibike options. Trafalgar Court permits 75% financing, pied-a-terre living, gifting, guarantors and is pet friendly.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
