Timeless Elegance in this Oversized Pre-War Park Avenue Classic 7

They don't build them like they used to, and this 1919 full-service Carnegie Hill co-op is no exception. This high-floor seven-room home overlooks Park Avenue and exudes classic Upper East Side elegance. Enter the gracious foyer from a semi-private landing shared with just two other apartments. The foyer thoughtfully separates the living and the bedroom wings of the home. Off the foyer, you will find an expansive living room with a wood-burning fireplace and two sets of triple windows overlooking Park Avenue. Connected to the living room is an oversized dining room with another set of triple windows, also facing Park Avenue. Adjacent to the dining and living rooms is a massive windowed, eat-in kitchen that features Poggenpohl cabinets, stone countertops, SubZero refrigerator, a vented hood, a separate prep area with a second sink, and a nook for informal dining. Off the kitchen is the maid's room, with a vented W/D and a full bathroom.

The bedroom wing boasts three large bedrooms, two full windowed bathrooms, three walk-in closets and a linen closet. With the four main rooms of this seven-room home facing Park Avenue, you will enjoy classic Upper East Side views over the wide boulevard and great light throughout the day. Completing this gracious home are 9'6" high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, 21 windows, and picture rail molding. An 8'x7'x5" storage room transfers with the sale and is included in the maintenance.

Through-the-wall A/Cs are installed in some of the rooms. Central air and additional through-the-wall A/C are permitted with board approval. With very few structural elements, you can connect the living and dining rooms, creating a 44ft long great room. Prefer an open kitchen? Per the building super, the wall between the living room and kitchen can also be taken down. This home was renovated with high-end finishes 30 years ago and has been well-maintained over the years, with smooth walls and like-new baseboard moldings. Should you prefer more updated finishes in the kitchen or bathrooms, you can move in and renovate over time.
