About This Home

Welcome to Residence 7B at 70 East 96th Street - a rare offering in one of Carnegie Hill's most esteemed Rosario Candela cooperatives. Encompassing over 1,900 approx. square feet of refined living space, this gracious, freshly painted 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath home invites you to reimagine it into a truly bespoke Upper East Side retreat.

Enter through a stately foyer and be welcomed by formal living and dining rooms that exude prewar elegance. Timeless herringbone hardwood floors, modern built-ins that combine style and function with effortless grace, and soaring proportions create an ideal setting for both grand entertaining and quiet sophistication. The expansive dining room is perfectly suited for hosting.

The windowed eat-in kitchen - complete with an adjacent office and powder room - offers boundless potential to be transformed into a chef's dream. The office provides versatile options, ideal for a work, a creative space, or an additional guest room. The kitchen and office are virtually renovated to show their fantastic potential.

The private primary suite is a peaceful escape, featuring an en-suite bath with a frameless walk-in shower, elegant modern tiling, built-in shelving, and two closets. Two additional bedrooms, each with hardwood floors, share a bathroom, while the second bedroom boasts two closets of its own. Multiple additional storage spaces, including a foyer closet, hall closet, and dedicated storage off the dining room and office, ensure effortless organization throughout.

Designed in 1929 by the celebrated architect Rosario Candela, 70 East 96th Street is a white-glove cooperative known for its impeccable service and prewar distinction. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, porters, bike room, free bin storage, and a modern central laundry room. In-unit washer/dryer permitted upon board approval. Pets are welcome, and 60% financing is allowed. 2.5% flip tax is paid by the buyer. Pied-a-terre not permitted.

Perfectly situated just off Madison Avenue, this distinguished address places you moments from Central Park, the Museum Mile, acclaimed private schools, and the city's finest dining and shopping. Convenient access to the 4, 5, 6, and Q trains, as well as crosstown buses, ensures seamless connectivity to all of Manhattan.
