Property Description for 19 East 88th Street, 7-C

LUCKY YOU, the deal fell through— and this spectacular property is back on the market at an even better price!

Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence or a pied-a-terre, come home to the best of everything. This unique Museum Mile residence measures approximately 1325sqft and is just a few doors from the Guggenheim, located in one of Carnegie Hill’s most desirable and sought after full-service prewar co-ops.

Unique from the other C-lines in the building, 7C in one of only three units (C-lines spanning the 7th-9th floors) that contains the entire footprint of what would have been the neighboring B-line unit—so, is essentially two apartments in one (7BC). Moreover, this approximately 1325 sqft, oversized outlier is original; specially designed by architect William M. Dowling in 1936 as a representation of an ideal 1bdrm, not a result of a later combination.A sunny, south-facing, oversized prewar one-bedroom, one and a half bath apartment with formal dining, this unit larger than most two bedrooms and features: new south-facing casement windows in every room, high-beamed ceilings, ample closet space, original wood flooring with Art Deco marquetry, and decorative moldings throughout–typifying the classic elegance of Art Deco design with a gracious and fluid layout perfect for entertaining and live/work. Come see this beauty for yourself, contact the seller’s exclusive agent, or have your agent arrange an appointment.

The apartment’s large entry foyer (8’ × 10’) functions as an extension of the formal entertainment spaces and unifies them. From the entry, one can step down into the expansive sunken living room on the right (24’ × 15)’ or enter the formal dining room (14’ × 12’) directly ahead. And this exceptional fluidity of space is further enhanced by the dining room’s accessibility from the entry foyer, living room, as well as the kitchen, enabling these distinct spaces to flow into one another seamlessly.

To the left of the entry foyer, a hallway leads to a powder room for guests as well as a large closet before arriving at the door of the bedroom suite (20’ × 12’) which features three large closets (including a walk-in), a windowed ensuite bath, and a dressing area (6’ × 6’). Bathed in southern light, it can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and allow for additional furnishings, a seating area, or a dedicated office area.

Just steps from Central Park, 19 East 88th Street, designed by noted architect William M. Dowling, is one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in the city, and features a meticulously restored and beautifully maintained Art Deco lobby, a landscaped roof deck with multiple seating areas and stunning panoramic views, a brand new fitness center, central laundry, a bike room, and storage. Washer/dryers and central A/C are both permitted with board approval, and pets are allowed.

Located close to all forms of transport, countless restaurants, cafes, retailers and cultural institutions. PLEASE NOTE: The building permits a maximum of 50% financing.

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.
