Property Description for 166 East 96th Street, 8-CD

Flooded with light and views, this splendid Carnegie Hill Pre-War 2 Bed/2 Bath Convertible 3 has dream-worthy possibilities.

One of the few coveted combination units, Apartment 8CD, features an expansive living/dining "great-room" (spanning almost 38') and is flanked by gorgeous, oversized casement windows offering both eastern and western exposures-- city and river views. These beautiful windows also grace the eat-in kitchen and den/home-office/3rd bedroom.

The two king-sized bedrooms offer double exposures providing glorious Southern light and views-- each augmented by an additional view to the East and West. One of these bedrooms can easily transform into a serene en-suite primary. The two windowed bathrooms have southern light and views as well.

Complemented by wood floors, beamed ceilings, thru-the-wall A/C, and a large walk-in closet, this combination unit can be further enhanced by installing a washer/dryer and only combination units have this privilege.

The "Abbey" offers a resident manager, part-time doorman, new/modernized elevator, seperate service elevator, central laundry, private storage (subject to availability), and bike storage. The building allows 80% financing, Pied-a-terres, and is pet friendly. Conveniently located near Central Park, museums, hospitals, restaurants, shopping, parking, Second and Lexington Avenue Subway lines, crosstown buses and ease of access to NYC airports.

With a little imagination and TLC, this light-filled pre-war charmer can easily be curated into your dream-home! See alternative floor plan for one of the many possibilities.

Carnegie Hill | Manhattan

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.
