Description

*BACK ON THE MARKET*
Welcome to this expansive 3 bedroom F line, the largest 6 room residence in one of Carnegie Hill's most desirable Co-ops. This thoughtfully laid out home boasts a generously sized windowed eat-in kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances. The nearly 10 1/2 feet high ceilings and oversized double-pane casement windows allow natural light to fill the space. The living room offers a peaceful street view and open sky exposure, complemented by a wood-burning fireplace for added elegance during your evenings.
Currently set up as a 3 bedroom plus an office/den, this flexible layout can easily be reconfigured into a grand 2 bedroom plus a formal dining room, providing you with the opportunity to personalize the space to your liking. The walls have been freshly skim-coated, and with some care, the sturdy oak and maple wood floors can be restored to their original splendor. The apartment also retains its original charm with transoms, beamed ceilings, and old-world details that create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
A standout feature of this home is the building's allowance for washer/dryer installations, offering a significant convenience for modern living. While some upgrades will be desired, this apartment presents an excellent opportunity to reside in a spacious and charming home in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods. Let your imagination roam free as you envision the countless possibilities for making this space your own.
The Paulding, designed by modern loft building pioneers Maynicke & Franke in 1921, is renowned as one of the most sought-after residences in Carnegie Hill. Residents of this elegant Co-op enjoy access to a new roof deck, landscaped garden, and a children's playroom. The building's prime location places it close to Central Park, the 92nd Street Y, and public transportation. Nestled in a residential neighborhood, you'll find yourself surrounded by the city's highest concentration of major museums and fine schools. Additionally, Whole Foods and The Fairway Market are conveniently located just a few blocks away. An 8' storage cage is included with the apartment at no additional cost. Pets are permitted, although subletting and pied-a-terres are not allowed. Don't miss out on the chance to make this exceptional residence your own.

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.
