49 E 96th St, Unit 14C Floor 14 New York, NY 10128

For the first time, this high-floor three-bedroom-easily convertible to four bedrooms Art Deco gem is available. Originally owned by Alfred H. Barr, Jr., the first Director of the Museum of Modern Art, and subsequently owned by and lived in by his daughter, the artist, Victoria Barr.

With wide-open northern and southern and eastern exposures, streaming natural light fills the apartment throughout the day, meeting perfectly in the center. The views are extraordinary seeing all the way to midtown Manhattan and even the Triboro Bridge!

Currently configured as a three-bedroom, the layout allows for a seamless conversion to a fourth bedroom off the dining room. The home also features a generously sized, windowed kitchen that can be opened to create an expansive eat-in kitchen with laundry area.

A grand foyer welcomes you into this classic prewar residence. The current bedrooms are generously proportioned, offering excellent closet space and abundant storage throughout.
