16 East 96th Street, 6-F

With 10' ceilings and oversized windows this incredibly desirable, light-filled 3+ bedroom apartment has been beautifully renovated and thoughtfully designed with expansive living and entertaining areas separate from the bedroom wing. This inviting home offers all the appeal of a downtown loft in the heart of Carnegie Hill, right by Central Park, and close to schools, restaurants and services.

A spacious entrance foyer leads to the impressively-scaled living room/dining room with fireplace at each end. Originally two rooms, this 40' expanse offers seven large East facing windows which flood the apartment with light. The inviting eat-in kitchen with two windows has custom Bulthaup cabinetry, Sub Zero and Gaggenau appliances, and a laundry room with utility sink. A well-designed banquette offers a large windowed seating area and additional storage.

A wide bedroom hallway leads to the generously-sized master bedroom which is complemented by a huge spa-like Carrera marble bathroom with double sinks, separate stall shower and soaking tub. There are two more attractive, East facing bedrooms plus a 4th bedroom/study and another well-appointed hall bathroom. In addition there is a large powder room and there are custom closets throughout.

Added features of the apartment include central air conditioning and new hardwood floors and sub floors. The original windows have been replaced with new thermopane Skyline windows. Designed in 1903 by Clinton and Russel, celebrated architects if the Apthorp, the Queenston is an elegant turn-of-the-century six-story co-op with wonderfully restored original architectural details. The elevators have been upgraded and there is a resident manager and doorman and basement storage.
