Description

This spacious and sun-filled high-floor residence features open south City views from the Living Room, Dining Room and all 3 generously-sized bedrooms. The corner Dining Room has 2 beautiful exposures, one featuring south cityscape views and one to the west with leafy green views of Central Park! The kitchen and adjacent home office which have serene sky and treetop views overlooking Madison Avenue, can easily be reimagined as a large windowed eat-in-kitchen. As soon as you enter this freshly-painted and newly-staged spacious residence, you will be able to imagine creating the next chapter of your life here. This elegant home features many coveted prewar details including a gracious entry foyer, high beamed ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and a separate laundry area with full-sized washer and dryer. The possibility exists to add a half or full bath in the current laundry room area. If your lifestyle needs require a 4 or 5 bedroom home, this expansive Classic 7 prewar can be transformed to accommodate your needs! In addition, there are 3 full large baths. We have included several alternate floorplans for your consideration. 49 East 96th St. is a highly-desirable full-service building in the Carnegie Hill Historic District. As soon as you approach the classic wrought-iron and glass art-deco-style entry doors, you are greeted by one of the friendly doormen. The top-notch staff, including live-in super, is attentive to your every need. There is an exercise studio, and laundry facilities to supplement the washer/dryer in your apartment. Private storage facilities (at minimal cost) and bike storage (free) are also available. There may be a short waiting list. This pet-friendly co-op allows 60% financing. Pied-a-terre is not permitted. A 2% flip tax is paid by the buyer. Central Park is practically at your doorstep with the grand reservoir visible as you enter the Park on 96th St. This prime location is close to Museum Mile with The Metropolitan and Guggenheim a stone’s throw away. Lots of excellent restaurants, boutiques, schools, and playgrounds are nearby. Public transportation options also abound.

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.
