Property Description for 7 East 88th Street
No.7 East 88th Street
Rare Limestone Mansion / Park Block / 24.5 ft Wide / High Ceilings / Over 10,000 sqft (approx.).
No.7 East 88th Street is ideal for a single-family mansion restoration. Distinguished by its impressive Beaux-Arts style 24.5-foot-wide limestone facade, this mansion spans five levels with soaring ceilings over 10ft tall on each level; it features beautiful architectural details, such as elegant dormers and a two-level limestone-clad oriel window with western views of Central Park and Reservoir, welcomed by an original wrought-iron grille perfectly centered between two limestone columns and flanked by two windows that complement its timeless design.
No.7 East 88th Street is among the most desired Carnegie Hill landmarked blocks. It is moments away from Central Park, Fifth Avenue, the Guggenheim Museum, and Madison Avenue shopping and is lined with some of the Upper East Side's finest examples of turn-of-the-century architecture.
Built in 1903 by architects James R. Turner and William G. Killian, No. 7 East 88th Street was designed in the Beaux-Arts style as a row of three prominent mansions, each showcasing an impressive and grand scale throughout. This mansion is 24.5 feet wide and 80 feet deep on a 100-foot-deep lot. The interiors still feature original details, impressive rooms with exceptional scale and proportion, and generous natural light.
The mansion is configured as a four-unit residence, including a garden-level triplex, a modernly designed top-level triplex with solarium, and four one-bedroom residences, highlighted with a rooftop terrace and private garden. Each level of this townhouse is serviced by an elevator, a rarity for a house of this period.

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.
