A grand dining foyer introduces a succession of beautifully proportioned rooms in this high-floor Park Avenue residence. The living room is magnificent in scale, with a wall of windows overlooking 92nd Street, handsome beamed ceilings, and rich hardwood parquet floors. There is room for a grand piano, walls of books, and an impressive art collection.
The primary bedroom is no less remarkable, with room for a king-size bed, a comfortable sitting area, and a writing desk or dressing table without crowding the space. North- and west-facing windows provide beautiful natural light and a view of Central Park. A separate dressing area with built-in storage leads to the private, windowed bathroom, with a bathtub and separate shower. Situated apart from the primary suite, the second bedroom enjoys southern light and an angled view of Central Park, along with built-in storage. A second full bathroom with a shower is located off the hall.
The spacious, windowed kitchen has generous counter space and cabinetry, a view toward Central Park, and a built-in washer and dryer. Closets throughout the apartment provide excellent storage.
The apartment retains its original prewar architectural details alongside renovations and updates made over decades of ownership. This is an estate sale, and the property is being offered strictly as-is. Furnished photos are virtually staged; decorative fireplace and chandelier have been digitally added.
Designed in 1940 by George F. Pelham Jr., this handsome late Art Deco cooperative brings the architectural elegance of the period to Carnegie Hill. Its red-brick facade, graceful vertical detailing, and limestone and granite base reflect the streamlined character of the Moderne style. Residents enjoy the services of a full-time doorman and resident superintendent, along with a fitness room, laundry room, and bicycle room. Pieds-à-terre and up to two pets are welcome. 50% financing is permitted, and a 2% flip tax is payable by the purchaser.
Carnegie Hill is celebrated for its beautiful residential architecture, tree-lined streets, and historic townhouses, with Central Park just two blocks away. The Guggenheim and Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum are among the cultural landmarks of Museum Mile, while the 92nd Street Y presents an exceptional range of programming. Along Madison Avenue, contemporary favorites Glace and Madison Fare share the neighborhood with designer retailer Blue & Cream.
