Elegance and grandeur describe this ten room home in the heart of Carnegie Hill, just off Fifth Avenue. Designed by famed architects, Clinton and Russell, renowned for the Langham and the Apthorp, this sprawling home boasts ten-foot plus ceilings, gorgeous prewar details, oversized windows and perfectly proportioned rooms. A loft-like living room and formal dining room with beautifully restored floors and a fireplace are ideal for entertaining. Through original French doors is the warm and inviting library with fireplace and ornate moldings. Off the large windowed eat-in kitchen, a laundry area and windowed storage room can be converted back to a maid's room with bathroom. A home office or fifth bedroom which abuts the primary bedroom can become a master bathroom and dressing room or be divided so as to be used as an office and still allow space to add an en-suite master bathroom and walk-in closet. The bedroom wing has four generously sized bedrooms with ample closets and two large full bathrooms. Two and one half bathrooms can easily be added. The walls have been skim coated and the gorgeous floors have been restored in this home. The apartment is wired for internet and audio/visual. The fireplaces are currently non working but can be converted to gas and or wood burning. Sixteen East 96th Street is an elegant prewar coop with a doorman, storage and a bike room.
