Description
Your search is over! Approaching 2,000 exquisite sq ft, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence has it all! Distinguished by a stately staircase with a wrought iron bannister, this gracious entrance gallery (an important first beat to any home) leads to the generously-sized, sun-kissed living room appointed with masterful millwork that accommodates (with ease) a grand piano and multiple seating areas. Adjacent to the living room, the equally sun-flooded formal dining room readily converts to a handsome (and private) Zoom room as needed. A cheerful windowed kitchen (with countertop seating) designed in white and stylish tones of gray offers a large separate pantry providing exceptional storage and valuable additional countertop work-space! Discreetly positioned, the ever important (and rare to find) large powder room is perfectly placed to serve this floor. Ascending to the 5th floor's graciously-sized landing, the bedroom level uniquely offers coveted privacy, space, and light. The primary suite enjoys copious closet space and an elegant windowed primary bath finished in white marble and nickel fixtures.The second and third bedrooms each revel in their own ensuite baths, and also enjoy ample closet space (with plenty of room to grow). Other important features include the essential washer and dryer (located on the bedroom level), through-the-wall air conditioning, pristine hardwood floors, and distinctive beamed ceilings. Perfectly poised in the Carnegie Hill Historic District, this home is a short distance from the best schools, the wonders of Central Park (including the reservoir and multiple newly renovated children's playgrounds), transportation, and iconic cultural institutions that line Museum Mile, such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Cooper Hewitt Museum and the Metropolitan Museum. The building's attentive staff include 24-hour doormen and a resident manager who will attend to your every need. Additional amenities include a small exercise studio with a Peloton bike, common bike storage, and basement storage (for a nominal fee). To top it off, this beautiful home has one of the LOWEST maintenance charges (for this square footage) on the Upper East Side! 2 percent flip taxes payable by the purchaser. This Carnegie Hill duplex residence offers the utmost in Manhattan Living!

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.
