On the market for the first time in over 50 years, this sprawling, pre-war residence enjoys a generous floor-through layout with triple exposure to the north, west and south. Overlooking 88th Street and Madison Avenue in Carnegie Hill, neighbor to only one other residence, 3-C is an especially unique apartment that offers a wonderfully private and tranquil living environment. Employing a large and open-plan design, this apartment is home to three bedrooms with three en-suite full bathrooms, a formal living room, spacious separate dining room, kitchen, and maid’s quarters with en-suite bath that can be converted to a fourth bedroom or realize an enormous eat-in kitchen with four windows. Stepping from the semi-private elevator landing, one is welcomed into a massive gallery foyer spanning over 30 feet long and 7 feet wide. Running laterally through the apartment, the gallery connects the living room to the left with the dining room to the right and consolidates access to the three-bedroom suites across the way.

With abundant wall space for displaying a beautiful art collection, this is a truly special entry with original herringbone wood flooring. The living room faces south and features a beautiful, mantled wood-burning fireplace and built-in, lighted bookshelves; the third bedroom, equally suitable as a private den or home office, is bathed in afternoon light with west and south facing windows. The central bedroom corridor has access to the primary and second bedroom; the oversized primary suite has a large custom-built closet, a cozy window seat for daytime relaxation, and an en-suite primary bath; the second bedroom also offers plentiful space, closet storage and an en suite bath. The enormous dining room joins the gallery and the rest of the apartment; the maid’s quarters and the kitchen, conveniently located to one another for easy services. Situated in one of the neighborhood’s most charming white glove pre-war co-ops, 47 East 88th is a block away from Central Park, the Onassis Reservoir, and the Guggenheim.

In close proximity to the best Upper East Side dining and shopping options, Museum Mile, cultural institutions, and the city’s top-ranking independent schools. A 16-story, pre-war co-op, distinguished by its large-scale, classically designed apartments, and handsome brick and limestone façade, there is a discreet canopied entrance on East 88th, just east of Madison with a grand lobby. This 55-unit cooperative has a full-time doorman, porters, live-in resident superintendent, resident lounge, children’s playroom, separate laundry room and fitness center.
