Description

Move right in to this spacious and cheerful 5 -room apartment in the heart of Carnegie Hill.

The well-maintained apartment features a gracious entry foyer, a large living room and separate adjacent dining room. The bright, windowed kitchen is equipped with top of the line appliances including a Sub-zero refrigerator, Wolf Stove and Miele Dishwasher. The adjacent large breakfast room is ideal for casual dining and can also easily work as an office.

The two well-proportioned bedrooms are located at the end of a long hall providing desired privacy. The renovated master bath is en-suite and the second full bath is conveniently located on the hall so can double as a powder room. The flexible layout of the apartment easily allows for the dining room to be used as a spacious third bedroom.

Additional features include an in-unit washer/dryer, ample closet space, high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, beautifully restored pre-war details and a bright southern exposure providing the sought after combination of both light and quiet. A rare find for the price.

70 East 96th, designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela, is a desirable, full service pre-war Cooperative located in the heart of Carnegie Hill, one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods. Feeling more like a village nestled amid the busy city, the Carnegie Hill neighborhood provides every convenience of everyday living; the finest schools, shops, museums and parks all amid some of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks in the city. Multiple neighborhood and block associations work tirelessly to preserve the beauty and safety of this treasured neighborhood.

The building has a resident manager, a full time door attendant, bicycle room, and laundry room in the basement. A private storage bin transfers with the apartment. The building allows 60% financing and is pet friendly. There is a 2.5% Flip Tax payable by the buyer.

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.
