60 E 88TH Street #7A

Believe it or not! The first and only owner has stayed in the apartment less than 10 days over the lifetime of ownership of 35+ years. This home is in immaculate and pristine original condition. Semiprivate landing, Apartment 7A is a large and gracious six room home, located in prime Carnegie Hill featuring 1853 SF interior and 100 SF exterior space. This 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom condo is marked by its pre-war design sensibilities, starting with a grand marble entry gallery that distinctly separates the living areas to the north from the sleeping quarters to the south. The north facing living room has excellent light with large windows and two Juliette balconies. The formal dining room has custom built-in cabinets and exposures north and east. The windowed eat-in kitchen features a custom built-in banquette, double oven and a 4 burner Thermador with a grille (very lightly used appliances) and a newer Sub Zero fridge. A powder room is located off the gallery. The apartment's southern wing houses three spacious, sunlit bedrooms with one currently serving as a wood-paneled library/den. The primary bedroom is exceptionally large and features a walk-in closet, a vanity area, custom built-ins, and a solarium. Its en-suite bathroom offers a stall shower, a sizeable jacuzzi tub, and a bidet. Other notable features include 8.5-foot ceilings with crown moldings, hardwood flooring throughout, herringbone-patterned floors in the living room, an in-unit washer/dryer, and generous closet space. Built in 1987, 60 East 88th is a boutique white glove condominium with 18 units, mostly with two apartments per floor. The 24 hr doorman bldg. features a circular drive way, a live -in Resident Manager and bike storage. 1 1/2 blocks to Central Park, you are surrounded by terrific restaurants, great shopping and fabulous museums.
