Property Description for 40 East 88th Street, 15-B

Soaring views of Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir complement Northern and Southern exposures in this one-of-a-kind Carnegie Hill gem. At the crest of Carnegie Hill, this Classic 8 features four graciously scaled bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, amazing views of Central Park to the West, Carnegie Hill to the North and open views to the East, all delivering amazing light throughout the day. This is truly a one-of-a-kind living experience.

Enter the apartment into an expansive Gallery from which one accesses all of the apartment's living spaces. Directly off the gallery, enter the double sized living room with a grand fireplace flanked by two windows on each side. The living room, 22' 18', is large enough to accommodate multiple seating areas and host wonderful family gatherings. Step out of the living room into the one-of-a-kind windowed den, which enjoys corner windows and staggering Central Park views, including the reservoir and the Guggenheim Museum and North up Madison Avenue.

The opposite end of the Gallery leads to the formal Dining Room. Its gracious proportions and wall of built-in cabinetry allow you to entertain guests and display your collections. Meanwhile, the large windowed eat-in kitchen is logically located next to the dining room, perfectly situated for your hosting or regular enjoyment of your home.

The Primary Bedroom is accessed from a private hallway off the gallery. Its eight closets create a dressing area between the bedroom and the primary bathroom. One particularly special feature in the primary bathroom is a custom Tiffany window, the only one in the building. The second bedroom, currently configured as a study, also has its own full bath and also boasts Central Park views to the west. The third bedroom is located separately with an ensuite bath offering complete privacy. The fourth bedroom, off the kitchen, currently houses the washer and dryer, also has an ensuite bathroom.

40 East 88th Street is a premiere full-service cooperative perfectly situated at the highest point along Madison Avenue in Carnegie Hill. The building's suite of amenities includes a gym, laundry room, bike room and along with doorman, concierge, porter and live-in resident manager.

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.
