Welcome to Apartment 4B - A Prewar Classic 7 with "great bones" in 40 East 88th Street, one of Carnegie Hill's most prestigious and sought-after white glove cooperative buildings, built in 1930. This grand and gracious three bedroom (plus a staff room/home office), four bathroom apartment is a classic Carnegie Hill home. Its beautifully proportioned rooms are perfect for living and entertaining, with old-world detail, elegance and scale. The classically gracious floor plan includes a huge entry gallery, a enormous corner living room featuring a rare wood-burning fireplace and views of Central Park and the Guggenheim, a banquet sized formal dining room, a large kitchen with butler's pantry and adjacent staff room / home office with a full bath, as well as an exceptionally generous primary bedroom with an ensuite bath and dressing room. Both the large second and third bedrooms are also ensuite and boast amazing closets. Situated on a corner, with over-sized windows and both north and west exposures, the apartment has abundant natural light throughout the day, as well as lovely views of the tree-lined blocks and landmark architecture so distinctive of the neighborhood. Prewar details include herringbone floors, original moldings and trim, beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. Apartment 4B checks all the boxes and is ready for a new owner to call it home!
The array of amenities includes a gym, full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, bike room, laundry and a storage unit which trades with the apartment.
