The grand foyer of this sprawling classic nine-room residence leads to the impressive living room with its wood-burning fireplace and French doors that open to the massive formal dining room. Two of the four spacious bedrooms are in one wing with a shared bathroom and excellent closet space.
The primary has two sunny exposures and a bathroom that currently opens to what could be a fourth bedroom or wonderful den or home office.
The windowed eat-in kitchen can be expanded into either of the two staff rooms: one is currently used as a laundry room, and the other has access to a full bathroom.
Additional features of this lovely home are through-wall A/C (central is allowed), high ceilings, and parquet floors. With proper approval, the new owner can add a powder room and/or cut the large formal dining room into two, creating a dining area and den/TV room.
1075 Park Ave is a white glove prewar co-op that offers doormen, a live-in resident manager, a gym, bike & laundry rooms, and each unit comes with a storage bin.
50% financing max -- Pied-a-terres allowed on a case by case basis
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.
