70 E 96TH Street #10B

On a high floor in a Rosario Candela pre-war cooperative, this rarely available, quiet classic seven-room, three-bedroom apartment in Carnegie Hill has open city views and great light. Opening from the entrance foyer with a double coat closet is a gracious living room with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by custom-crafted bookcases. A private bedroom hallway leads to a south-facing master bedroom with ample closets including two fitted walk-ins and a large ensuite marble bathroom. Two additional spacious bedrooms have custom built-ins and share a light-drenched, beautifully tiled bathroom. Accessed through elegant French doors from the living room, as well as from the bedroom hallway, the over-sized formal dining room/library, well-designed with attractive and functional cabinetry, leads to a fully-equipped eat-in-kitchen featuring appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, and Dacor, as well as a wine cooler and an abundance of storage. Conveniently located off the back hallway is a staff room with an adjoining bathroom and Miele washer/dryer. Original prewar details, lovely hardwood floors, high-beamed ceilings, through-wall air conditioning, a sound system, and an additional private storage unit complete this welcoming apartment in an impeccably-maintained pet-friendly building near Central Park.
