About This Home
Located in the heart of Carnegie Hill in a boutique co-op between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue and less than two blocks from Central Park and Museum Mile, this spacious and flexible, prewar 5-room home showcases a gracious layout with well-proportioned rooms that are great for entertaining as well as living. The two to three-bedroom floor plan offers flexibility as well as a great flow and scale with 9'-high ceilings, an open formal expanse and plenty of prewar charm throughout. The whole apartment was freshly painted, and a new vanity was installed in the primary bathroom.
Lovely features and modern comforts include bamboo floors, pocket doors, pristine crown and baseboard moldings, custom auto-lit closets, recessed lighting, custom built-ins, Murphy bed in the second bedroom, and Miele washer and dryer. The well-proportioned layout includes a spacious living room with room for dining, a windowed kitchen, two bedrooms plus a flexible room that can be a third bedroom, home office, dining room, or den/media room, and two full baths. The very functional windowed kitchen features plentiful cabinet storage, granite counters, Fisher and Paykel and GE Profile stainless appliances that include both a built-in microwave and brand-new dishwasher.
This charming prewar home on the Upper East Side offers timeless appeal, featuring a superb residential location just half a block from Park Avenue, a wonderfully maintained prewar building with low maintenance, and a flexible layout.
