16 E 96TH Street #4A

Don't miss the chance to transform this incredible space into a one-of-a-kind Carnegie Hill residence. With 10" ceilings, oversized windows, abundant natural light, and spacious rooms, this home has the potential to be both a grand entertaining space and an elegant two bedroom home. The north facing living room and primary bedroom feature both townhouse and open sky views. A large central gallery opens into the public rooms, with connected living room, dining room and kitchen, making it ideal for social gatherings. The enormous eat-in kitchen has abundant counter and cabinet space and even a separate pantry. All rooms including the full bathroom and kitchen have windows. Two well sized bedrooms offer ample closet space, including an oversized walk-in closet. Washer/Dryers are allowed! Because the original architecture of the building is so special, other apartments in the building have been renovated to the highest standards by renowned architects, to great effect. The Queenston was designed in 1906 by architects Clinton & Russell, one of the preferred firms of the Astor family, who also commissioned them to design the Apthorpe and the Astor. Architect Ogden Codman, who designed several historic mansions on this beautiful block leading into the park, famously envisioned the block as a Parisian Boulevard or European square. This elegant coop is well-maintained by a live-in resident manager and part-time door staff, and features a beautiful lobby, storage, and a bike room. The coop's finances are buttressed by the popular Starbucks tenant. One block away is Central Park, with the Jackie Onassis reservoir, newly renovated playground, bike and running path, and the beautiful East Meadow. The prestigious neighborhood of Carnegie Hill is known for its proximity to Museum Mile and many of the city's top private schools. This is a special opportunity for a buyer with vision!
