60 East 96th Street, 7-CD

Beautiful, luxurious 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath apartment in prime Carnegie Hill, in a full-service prewar building just one block from Central Park! The result of an impeccable combination of 2 spacious units, Residence 7CD is a sprawling 6-room gem with gracious interiors for entertaining and a split-bedroom layout for optimal privacy. New highly efficient dual-layered double-pane windows invite in abundant light, with most rooms south-facing plus northern and western exposures.

A large entry foyer with a coat closet greets your arrival and introduces the home's gracious layout. Relax and host guests in the adjacent living and dining rooms separated by French doors. The wall between can easily be removed if desired to create a more airy flow. Stunning parquet oak floors, high beamed ceilings, tasteful moldings and refined finishes lend elegance throughout. The sunny, generously-sized windowed kitchen is well-appointed with ample cabinetry, tiled flooring, granite countertops, an eating area, and a built-in office corner with a desk and shelving. The chef enjoys premium appliances including a Viking gas range and electric oven, 42" Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and Miele dishwasher.

The oversized primary bedroom suite is a divine retreat set in its own 'wing', featuring a huge walk-in closet (50 sq ft), and spa-like bathroom with 2 sinks, a jacuzzi tub, and separate shower with sauna. On the opposite side of the apartment are 2 additional bedrooms in the western wing, accessing a full hall bathroom right nearby. Other highlights are a convenient powder room off the foyer, a full-size washer-dryer, through-wall air conditioning replaced in 2020, and a private storage bin that comes with the unit.

Built in 1929 and designed by Emery Roth, 60 East 96th Street is an established cooperative with a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, basement laundry facility, and bike room. The 16-unit building rests in the sought-after Carnegie Hill neighborhood on the Upper East Side, moments to Central Park, close to fine restaurants, excellent shopping, museums, schools, and public transportation. Pets and pied-a-terres are permitted. 75% financing is allowed, and approximately 33% of the maintenance is tax deductible.
