Description

An exceptional opportunity to own a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom apartment for the price of a studio/1-bedroom in the Carnegie Hill Historic District, located just one block from Central Park.

This 1,030-square-foot cooperative, located off Madison Avenue, boasts a superior address and is just steps away from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim, fine restaurants, schools, and Mount Sinai Hospital.

Brimming with character, the beautiful prewar marionette home offers spacious, loft-like interiors that instantly impress with airy 10-foot beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and oversized south-facing windows, enriching the ambiance with natural light. The primary bedroom easily fits a king-size bed; the Second bedroom - perfect for a nursery - fits a twin or bunk bed.

The apartment offers access through both a private entrance and the elegant Art Deco-attended lobby, also making it the perfect live-work opportunity.

49 East 96th Street is an impeccably maintained and managed cooperative offering low maintenance and upscale amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, a full-time resident manager, and storage available for a nominal fee. 60 financing, parental gifting, and co-purchasing are allowed. The subway and cross-town bus are conveniently located nearby.
