Description

Perfectly located in Carnegie Hill, apartment 9A is a generously proportioned classic 6 (potential 3 bedroom) with elegant pre-war details. Upon entering, there is a stately 21-foot gallery with beautiful hardwood floors and French doors which lead to a grand living room on one side and a large formal dining room which is currently divided to create an extra den. The living room features high beamed ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and a south-facing view overlooking the quiet tree-lined block of E 87th St. There is a spacious windowed eat-in-kitchen with a butler's pantry, an enormous amount of cabinet space, and a pantry closet. There are 2 large bedrooms with windowed en-suite bathrooms, double exposures, and spacious closets. There are numerous closets throughout the apartment and there is a private storage cage in the basement. Washer and dryer in unit. This apartment's flexible layout allows for the staff room to be seamlessly converted into a 3rd bedroom (see alternate floorplan).

There is a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, gym, bike room, laundry room, and private storage for each apt. Pets allowed.

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.
