16 East 96th Street, 4-BH

Loft-like open space gives this unique home a downtown feel with all the best of the Upper East Side, including a very reasonable board, and proximity to every uptown convenience including Central Park, Museum Mile, and the city's most elite private schools.

As you enter the 4th-floor landing, you immediately appreciate the European feel of the building with its beautifully maintained terrazzo floors and the open staircase dating back to 1908. 4B, with its recently completed high-quality renovation, boasts three grand entertaining spaces with soaring ceilings and double-height north facing windows looking out to the treetops of 96th Street. The spacious living room opens up to a study and gracious dining room, complete with a powder room for guests.

The enormous chef's kitchen brings the entertainment and living space together, making it the heart of the home. It is replete with abundant storage, and every top-of-the-line appliance you could ever need. Beyond the kitchen is a spacious den and enormous laundry room which includes a washer/dryer (vented), a sink, and even more storage.

A beautifully appointed hallway from the den leads to an entirely separate wing of 4 bedrooms, including a master bedroom suite with a large walk-in closet, another en-suite bedroom and two additional bedrooms that share an expansive bathroom with a double vanity and rain shower. This home has 3-zone central AC, a humidification system and radiant-heated floors in the bathrooms.

Building amenities include a part-time doorman M-Th, 7am-10pm, and Fri-Sun, 7 am- 11 pm, a live-in super, storage, and a bike room. The Queenston is a boutique seven-story cooperative whose pre-war detail and history will immediately transport you to Old New York. Along with the charm of its Carnegie Hill neighborhood, this home is not to be missed!
