Description

Bring your architect to this magnificent pre-war in Carnegie Hill. Located just steps away from Central Park, this charming two bedroom, two bathroom apartment has the bones to turn into something magical. 7B has a layout that is completely unique in the building and one that is hard to replicate on the Upper East Side. As you enter, you are greeted by an entry hall with a fabulous arched doorway leading into the rest of the apartment. A spacious dining area brings you directly into a windowed kitchen with ample amounts of cabinet space. The window offers an abundance of natural light; a premium that not many can find. As you exit, a set of stairs draws you into the truly spectacular raised living room featuring sprawling 13 foot ceilings and a decorative fireplace. Ceiling heights to this extreme are incredibly rare on the Upper East Side and a perk that is awarded to only a handful of apartments in the building. The double height windows allow for floods of light coming from east and west exposures making this the perfect living space for all of your entertaining needs. Quiet and bright, the two bedrooms emerge off a separate hallway in an effort to create adequate privacy. The primary features an en-suite bathroom with three separate closets. Across the hall you will find the second bedroom with both northern and eastern views. The second bathroom is set adjacent to the bedroom, allowing it to function as a powder room when hosting. 49 E 96th Street was built in 1929 and has continued to provide full and reliable service to all of its residents. Located just one block away from Central Park, this pet friendly art-deco pre-war offers a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, common bike storage, gym and a common laundry room. Pied-a-terre is not permitted. 60% financing along with gifting and co-purchasing allowed.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
