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

Welcome to elegance and comfort. Nestled on prestigious Museum Mile, this expansive approx. 1,325 sq ft residence is close by to the iconic Guggenheim Museum, situated in one of Carnegie Hill's most coveted full-service prewar co-ops.

Unlike any other C-lines in the building, Residence 7C is one of only three units designed to encompass the full footprint of the adjacent B-line unit. This exceptional layout, originally crafted in 1936 by renowned architect William M. Dowling, represents an ideal, oversized one-bedroom residence-not a later combination.

This sun-drenched, south-facing home boasts an oversized layout with formal dining or a proper second bedroom with one-and-a-half-bath. Larger than many two-bedroom apartments, it features brand new south-facing casement windows in every room, high, beamed ceilings, and original wood flooring with Art Deco marquetry. The decorative moldings throughout exude classic Art Deco charm, while the generous closet space provides ample storage. The gracious layout is perfect for entertaining and modern live/work lifestyles, blending prewar elegance with contemporary comforts. The impressive 8" x 10" entry foyer sets the tone, serving as an elegant prelude to the formal entertaining spaces and into the expansive 24" x 15" sunken living room, bathed in natural light. The formal 14" x 12" dining room or proper second bedroom flows effortlessly into the adjacent kitchen, creating an ideal setting for gatherings.

A private hallway leads to a powder room for guests and a closet. The serene bedroom suite, measuring 20" x 12', features three large closets, including a walk-in, along with a windowed en-suite bath and a cozy dressing area measuring 6" x 6'. Southern exposure light, the bedroom offers ample space for a king-sized bed, additional furnishings, a seating nook, or a dedicated home office, making it a perfect retreat from the vibrant city.

A distinguished Art Deco masterpiece by William M. Dowling, 19 East 88th Street offers a meticulously restored lobby that welcomes residents and guests with timeless charm. The landscaped rooftop, with multiple seating areas offers breathtaking panoramic views. Residents also enjoy a brand new fitness center, central laundry facilities, a bike room, and additional storage. Washer/dryers and central A/C are permitted with board approval, and the building is pet-friendly. Conveniently located near Central Park, premier cultural institutions, top-tier dining, boutique shopping, and excellent transportation options, this residence offers an unparalleled lifestyle in the heart of the city.

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.
