Philip House is a classic prewar condominium reimagined for modern living. While retaining the authenticity of an Upper East Side home, its interiors have been entirely rebuilt. A rare find in Carnegie Hill, Philip House captures the grace of tradition and the casual ease of a contemporary lifestyle. Using a luxurious palette of honest materials such as honed stone, natural wood, and fine marble, along with superior craftsmanship, Victoria Hagan has designed elegant homes with the feel of a custom renovation. Apartment layouts at Philip House have been thoughtfully reconfigured and opened up to allow for greater natural light. Beautifully-designed indoor and outdoor amenities enrich the Philip House experience. The rooftop terrace by landscape architect HM White offers western skyline views and connects to a rooftop Club Room. The fitness center featuring Technogym equipment, playroom, game room, and music practice room are also available to residents. In addition to a 24-hour doorman and on-site building manager, Philip House also offers cold storage, a bike storage room, and private storage units.
Quick Profile
Carnegie Hill is a small neighborhood at the northern tip of the Upper East Side that borders Central Park. It is steeped in history, great wealth, architecture and culture. It is known for its world-class museums and its rows of historic mansions. Nothing much changes here as the entire area is landmarked, preventing the proliferation of high-rise developments. Thus the buildings stay a human scale, the sky is aplenty and the neighborhood kind of feels like a small town to its long time residents.
The name Carnegie Hill is derived from the industrial magnate Andrew Carnegie, when Carnegie decided to build himself a mansion at 91st Street and Fifth Avenue….
Carnegie Hill is a family neighborhood with old fashioned upper crust money. The mid-rise co-ops that line the avenues are among the most prestigious addresses in the city. The avenues are lined with small restaurants, boutique shops
The residential towers that have proliferated on the eastside of Third Avenue in the East 90s simply do not exist between Lexington and Fifth.
