Description

This unit is currently occupied by rent-stabilized tenants. Call for details. Located in the elegant Pre-War Briarcliff Condominium, across from Carnegie Hall and steps to Central Park, this 3 bedroom and 3 bath corner home offers approximately 2600 square feet of beautifully proportioned living space. A large entry foyer off a private elevator landing opens to a gracious and grand living room with soaring 10 foot high ceilings, wood-burning fireplace and large south-facing windows overlooking the beautiful planted roof garden of Carnegie Hall and its superb modern tower, designed by Cesar Pelli.

Off the living room is a formal dining room which also enjoys brilliant Southern light and views. There is a spacious windowed kitchen that is accessed through the entry foyer or from the bedroom wing. There is a corner master bedroom with windowed bath and views of the ultra-luxury One57 Condominium.

The building has white-glove service, including a full-time doorman and resident manager. The Briarcliffe boasts the most prime midtown location, with Carnegie Hall across the street, Central Park only 2 blocks away, Columbus Circle, MoMA, and the best of Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue shopping just a few blocks away.

Lincoln Center, theatres, and top culinary options are also within easy access. Pets are welcome. The current monthly rent is $3,594.06 (through Dec 2026.)
