8 E 96TH Street #16A

This beautiful home is now empty and ready for its next incarnation. The space has been widely published in design books and magazines. Nestled within a highly desirable 1928 Rosario Candela building, Apartment 16A is a mint-condition six-room apartment that synthesizes the best of European and American design. The personal residence of a noted French decorator, Apartment 16A begins with a gracious entry foyer that leads to an elegantly proportioned living room with 10' ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. The large, sun-filled formal dining room is perfect for entertaining. The primary bedroom has four closets (three of them oversized) and two exposures, high over the Upper East Side. The windowed eat-in kitchen is fully renovated and equipped with modern appliances. Next to the kitchen is a maid's room with vented laundry. Both windowed bathrooms are outfitted like luxury spas, offering a bespoke yet classic look so rarely found in Manhattan apartments. Tenants may have apartment painted with the owner's approval. Situated off 5th Avenue, adjacent to one of the prettiest areas of Central Park, the apartment is close to some of the best shopping, museums, and dining in Manhattan. 8 East 96th Street features a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, bike room and immediate proximity to Central Park.
