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.
