Property Description for 65 East 96th Street, 10-A
10A is an immaculate, meticulously maintained, fully renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bath home in a rare prewar condominium in the Upper East Side’s Carnegie Hill neighborhood. Southern, Western, and Northern exposures provide lots of natural light, cross ventilation, and landmarked views of the domed architecture of St. Nicholas Cathedral with peeks of Central Park. A spacious eat-in kitchen has brand new stainless steel appliances and a commercial-capacity washer and vented dryer. The living room has herringbone floors, recessed lighting, and French doors that open into the formal dining room. The master bedroom features a view of Central Park, a wall of custom closets, and an en suite bathroom with marble shower. The Gatsby is a full-service, pet friendly building with only four apartments per floor, a live-in super, 24-hour doorman, fitness center, laundry room, and bike room. An additional private storage space is reserved for this unit in the basement. It is steps from Central Park, museums, schools, and restaurants. The listed tax amount includes a condo abatement of 17.5% for primary residents, and would be $366.15 more for non-residents. An assessment of $338.33 will end 11/2020. Available partially furnished on request.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
