12 E 97TH Street #7D

Residence 7D at 12 East 97th Street presents an exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully appointed pre-war home just moments from Central Park, in the heart of Carnegie Hill.

This elegant Convertible 2 bedroom residence is distinguished by its excellent condition, gracious proportions, and a highly adaptable layout designed to suit the needs of modern living. Currently configured with an open living and dining area, the home also offers the opportunity to easily reimagine the dining room as a separate bonus room, as shown in the alternate floor plan from when the current owners first purchased. Whether used as a home office, nursery, guest room, dressing room, or private retreat, this additional space offers a rare level of flexibility not often found in a classic one-bedroom.

Bathed in lovely northern light, the apartment enjoys enchanting views of a landmark church and its iconic onion domes, lending a striking architectural backdrop to the home's serene interiors. Classic pre-war details are on full display, including hardwood floors, high ceilings, handsome built-ins, and a decorative fireplace, while the open layout creates an easy, sophisticated flow for both entertaining and everyday living.

The windowed kitchen and bath enhance the home's timeless appeal, and exceptional storage throughout-highlighted by a walk-in closet in the bedroom-offers both beauty and practicality.

12 East 97th Street is a full-service pre-war cooperative with attentive staff, a live-in superintendent, a well-equipped laundry room, bike storage, and designated storage for each shareholder. With board approval, pied-à-terres are permitted, as are through-the-wall air conditioning and in-unit washer/dryers. Financing up to 75% is allowed, and there is no flip tax.

Set just off Central Park and surrounded by some of the Upper East Side's finest dining, shopping, museums, and transportation, 7D offers a rare blend of classic elegance, layout versatility, and an extraordinary location.
