Property Details
Description
Rarely available Classic 7 in the heart of Carnegie Hill and less than a block from Central Park. Located off a semi-private elevator landing, this lovely, prewar home offers a grand entry gallery, 3 bedrooms (each with en suite bathrooms), a gracious living room, a formal dining room and a windowed, eat-in kitchen with a separate breakfast area (or office.) This corner unit gets wonderful southern light throughout the day and is perfect for elegant entertaining and easy, everyday living. Other details include beautifully maintained hardwood floors, an abundance of storage, thru wall air conditioning and a vented washer/dryer. Built in 1927, by notable New York architect, George F. Pelham, 21 East 90th Street is a full service building on one of the prettiest streets in all of Manhattan. This historic block was selected by Andrew Carnegie because it is the high point of what is now known as Carnegie Hill. This quiet, tree-lined street is also home to the Cooper Hewitt Museum and its enclosed garden (a national historic landmark) as well as the magnificent neo-gothic Limestone Church of the Heavenly Rest. This incredible location is close to several of the city's best schools (both public and private) and less than a block from the Engineer's Gate entrance to the park and reservoir.

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.
