Description

Exquisite pre-war residence featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, boasting lofty ceilings in the coveted Upper East Side, Carnegie Hill locale. Enter into the sun-drenched, expansive living and dining area with soaring high ceilings and panoramic westward city views. The spacious, windowed kitchen offers custom cabinetry, ample counter space, and captivating city vistas, creating an ideal setting for delightful meal preparation. The thoughtfully designed floor plan provides a seamless separation between living and bedroom spaces. Venture down the hallway to discover the bedroom wing, comprising three generously sized bedrooms facing North and East. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bathroom, while a second bath is conveniently accessible from the hallway, catering to your guests' needs. Additional highlights include strip hardwood floors, high ceilings, and ample closet space. The residence, characterized by its serene ambiance and abundant natural light, epitomizes the perfect home in Carnegie Hill. Originally designed by the renowned firm Warren & Westmore in 1923 for the Trafalgar Hospital, this well-positioned cooperative in the heart of Carnegie Hill underwent a transformation into an apartment building in 1979 and conversion to a cooperative in 1980. Named Trafalgar Court, this boutique coop comprises only 27 units and features a communal landscaped courtyard with a grill. The basement amenities include a laundry room, storage cage (included with the apartment), and a children’s playroom. Recent upgrades include the newly renovated lobby, with plans for an elevator renovation in the upcoming Summer. A live-in superintendent and part-time doorman, available Monday to Friday from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, add to the convenience and security of the building. The cooperative offers 75% financing options. Don't miss the chance to call this exceptional residence your home.

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.
