Description
Grand scale, high floor, light-filled classic six in first class Carnegie Hill prewar building. Only a block from Central Park on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath apartment is in excellent condition. It is in a very well-managed and well-maintained coop which has street level retail income and low monthly maintenance fees.
The large rooms include a 25-foot living room and a 22-foot dining room, which with the entrance gallery between them form a 70-foot expanse.
The living room has south and west-facing windows, handsome built-in bookcases, and a wood-burning fireplace. The living room has original hand-pegged hardwood floors and the formal dining room and entrance gallery have beautiful original hardwood herringbone floors.
The adjacent library (or 2nd bedroom) also has south and west-facing windows and a private bath with steam shower. It has attractive bookcases, a wine refrigerator and a custom-fitted closet.
The large and serene primary bedroom has a marble bath with a large steam shower and excellent closets which have been beautifully customized.
The well-equipped kitchen has solid wood cabinets, as does the adjacent office which was formerly a staff room.
Both are in excellent condition and are ideally situated to become a large square kitchen, if desired. A half bath with washer and dryer is off the kitchen.
The apartment shares the landing with only one other apartment. It comes with a 5x6 individual storage cage in the basement.
Building staff provide a high level of service with full-time doormen (two at the door for most of the day), porters and a resident superintendent.
There is an exceptional gym ($600 per year per apartment), laundry, bike storage, a community room and a children’s playroom - all located in the immaculate basement. Mail and newspapers are distributed to apartments daily. Pet friendly. 2% flip tax, paid by buyer.
47 East 88th Street is a beautiful brick and limestone building, designed by the architect Fred Pelham and built in 1930.
It is a well-established and well-run coop, converted in 1957. Because of their creation of high-quality attractive street-level commercial spaces, Carnegie Hill Neighbors honored the coop with their prestigious Carnegie Hill Neighbors Enrichment Award.
This peaceful and popular Carnegie Hill location is known for its neighborly feel, outstanding shops and restaurants and proximity to Central Park and many excellent museums.
