Description

An elegant prewar co-op nestled just a block away from Central Park, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is a portrait of classic city charm. Features of the apartment include original hardwood floors with border inlays, beamed ceilings, northern and eastern exposure, a decorative fireplace, several chic built-ins, and attentive and friendly building staff.

Beyond a tasteful foyer adorned with a pair of large coat closets and an arched doorway, the home flows into formal living and dining areas. The living room has a decorative fireplace, while the dining room has a wall of built-ins and leads into a windowed, galley-style kitchen equipped with sleek granite countertops, a glass-tile back splash, custom cabinetry, and a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances from Sub-Zero and Bosch.

The master bedroom has dual exposure, a unique built-in, a massive walk-in closet, and easy access to a windowed full bathroom with marble walls and floors and a rain shower head. The second bedroom has dual exposure and is just across the living room from the bathroom.

49 East 96th Street is a prewar co-op located in Carnegie Hill. The building has a 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, a laundry room, bicycle storage, a fitness room, and private storage. It is close to the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir and Museum Mile, and is surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and shops. Nearby subway lines include the 4/6/N/Q. Pets are welcome.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
