47 E 88TH Street #15D

This high floor classic six room residence just one block from Central Park offers an abundance of light, ample space for comfortable living, and an incredible blank canvas to create the perfect home. Upon entering through the gracious foyer complete with a walk-in closet, you will be struck by the grand scale and well - preserved original pre war detailing of this home. The corner living room is over 24' long and flooded with natural light from three windows; two facing south onto 88th Street and one facing east toward Park Avenue. The focal point of the living space is a stunning marble wood burning fireplace. Both bedrooms have ample closet space, eastern exposures, and en-suite bathrooms. Accessed through a hallway with two large closets, the room adjacent to the living room is currently configured as the primary bedroom and its en-suite bathroom includes both a tub and a shower. A twenty foot long gallery provides generous separation between the living and dining quarters. The formal dining room offers both eastern and northern exposures and could easily be converted to a third bedroom or home office, depending on your lifestyle. The adjacent windowed eat-in kitchen has an approved in-unit laundry area and a butler's pantry- in addition to a staff room with its own bathroom off the kitchen. Recently re-sealed, the original hand-pegged hardwood floors and high beamed ceilings throughout make this home an absolute must-see. Unit 15D shares the landing with only one other apartment and comes with an individual storage cage in the basement. 47 East 88th Street is one of Carnegie Hill's most sought- after white glove pre- war co-ops complete with full-time doormen, live-in super, fitness center ($600 per year), laundry facilities, bike storage, a community room, and a playroom. The 16- story brick and limestone building was designed by the architect Fred Pelham, built in 1930, and converted in 1957. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. Please note that this is an estate sale and will be sold as-is.
