Description

Flooded with light and views, this splendid Carnegie Hill Pre-War 2 Bed/2 Bath Convertible 3 has dream-worthy possibilities.

One of the few coveted combination units, Apartment 8CD, features an expansive living/dining "great-room" (spanning almost 38') and is flanked by gorgeous, oversized casement windows offering both eastern and western exposures-- city and river views. These beautiful windows also grace the eat-in kitchen and den/home-office/3rd bedroom.

The two king-sized bedrooms offer double exposures providing glorious Southern light and views-- each augmented by an additional view to the East and West. One of these bedrooms can easily transform into a serene en-suite primary. The two windowed bathrooms have southern light and views as well.

Complemented by wood floors, beamed ceilings, thru-the-wall A/C, and a large walk-in closet, this combination unit can be further enhanced by installing a washer/dryer and only combination units have this privilege.

The "Abbey" offers a resident manager, part-time doorman, new/modernized elevator, seperate service elevator, central laundry, private storage (subject to availability), and bike storage. The building allows 80% financing, Pied-a-terres, and is pet friendly. Conveniently located near Central Park, museums, hospitals, restaurants, shopping, parking, Second and Lexington Avenue Subway lines, crosstown buses and ease of access to NYC airports.

With a little imagination and TLC, this light-filled pre-war charmer can easily be curated into your dream-home! See alternative floor plan for one of the many possibilities.

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.
